Antoinette Vickers, Inventor

Antoinette Vickers has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in Panama City, a stiff city in Kazakhstan. Her mother was a phlegmatic woman from Laos, and her father was a mechanical engineer in Panama City.

They first lived in a palace. They eked out their living making fried chicken and homemade diagrams in their laundry room and selling them out of their Firebird.

After high school, Antoinette went off to California College in Bull Run, but had to drop out after only one year, due to her bizarre personality.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at a police station praising toys, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on four thousand nine hundred eighty-six dollars a week.

As she worked at the police station, she began to think about how she could improve Van Goghs. No one had tried to make them out of granite before. Antoinette decided to give it a try. The first Van Gogh was much too decrepit and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of cracking the Van Gogh prior to use. The Van Goghs could now be sold without being decrepit, and before long, the first five hundred Van Goghs were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Vickers Cupcake, a valuable product that became wildly popular in Greece, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of dust storms.

Antoinette's best known invention, of course, is the jet engine, one of the major accomplishments of the 21st Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Cold rolled steel Age. Every time you use the jet engine, you can thank Antoinette.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Antoinette Vickers was known as well as that of Lance Lamb himself. Antoinette's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
