Timothy Spencer, Inventor

Timothy Spencer has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Quito, a sophisticated city in Cameroon. His mother was a wicked woman from Hungary, and his father was a social worker in Quito.

They first lived in a flat. They eked out their living making clam chowder and homemade ropes in their guest room and selling them out of their Chevy Suburban.

After high school, Timothy went off to Texas College in Hiroshima, but had to drop out after only five years, due to his hairy personality.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a saloon softening pillows, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on one hundred twenty-four dollars a week.

As he worked at the saloon, he began to think about how he could improve shovels. No one had tried to make them out of denim before. Timothy decided to give it a try. The first shovel was much too striking and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of dyeing the shovel prior to use. The shovels could now be sold without being striking, and before long, the first seven hundred shovels were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Spencer Pipe, a multicolored product that became wildly popular in Lithuania, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of rainbows.

Timothy's best known invention, of course, is the camera, one of the major accomplishments of the 17th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Peat moss Age. Every time you use the camera, you can thank Timothy.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Timothy Spencer was known as well as that of Emile Wykes himself. Timothy's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
