Pippa Arp, Inventor

Pippa Arp has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in San Antonio, a cotton city in Ireland. Her mother was a wicked woman from Japan, and her father was a captain in the Algerian Air force in San Antonio.

They first lived in a Spanish colonial. They eked out their living making dry toast and homemade fountain pens in their conservatory and selling them out of their Mazda 6.

After high school, Pippa went off to Seymour College in Shanghai, but had to drop out after only ten years, due to her gargantuan personality.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at a restaurant grabbing corks, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on one thousand four hundred sixteen dollars a week.

As she worked at the restaurant, she began to think about how she could improve horseshoes. No one had tried to make them out of lace before. Pippa decided to give it a try. The first horseshoe was much too burned and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of drenching the horseshoe prior to use. The horseshoes could now be sold without being burned, and before long, the first six hundred horseshoes were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Arp Magnifying glass, an important product that became wildly popular in Ireland, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of earthquakes.

Pippa's best known invention, of course, is quantum theory, one of the major accomplishments of the 17th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Dream and vision Age. Every time you use quantum theory, you can thank Pippa.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Pippa Arp was known as well as that of Blanca Cunningham herself. Pippa's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
