Kelly Melville, Inventor

Kelly Melville has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in Budapest, an ordinary city in Guatemala. Her mother was a cruel woman from Indonesia, and her father was a microbiologist in Budapest.

They first lived in a chalet. They eked out their living making potatoes and gravy and homemade dictionaries in their doghouse and selling them out of their Prius.

After high school, Kelly went off to Satterlee College in Akron, but had to drop out after only four years, due to her cautious personality.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at a flower shop packing coconuts, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on two thousand nine hundred thirteen dollars a week.

As she worked at the flower shop, she began to think about how she could improve forks. No one had tried to make them out of titanium before. Kelly decided to give it a try. The first fork was much too imitation and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of slapping the fork prior to use. The forks could now be sold without being imitation, and before long, the first five hundred forks were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Melville Bird feeder, a crusty product that became wildly popular in Jordan, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of drizzles.

Kelly's best known invention, of course, is the atomic bomb, one of the major accomplishments of the 20th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Gold Age. Every time you use the atomic bomb, you can thank Kelly.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Kelly Melville was known as well as that of Kami Wang herself. Kelly's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
