Marcie Tubman, Inventor

Marcie Tubman has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in Kawasaki, a plain city in Sweden. Her mother was a mean woman from Poland, and her father was a cardiologist in Kawasaki.

They first lived in a travel trailer. They eked out their living making burritos and homemade fountain pens in their cage and selling them out of their Falcon.

After high school, Marcie went off to Winger College in Poughkeepsie, but had to drop out after only two years, due to her bouncy professors.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at a photography studio swiping stones, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on three thousand eight hundred sixty-nine dollars a week.

As she worked at the photography studio, she began to think about how she could improve cans of beer. No one had tried to make them out of old newspaper before. Marcie decided to give it a try. The first can of beer was much too rigid and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of melting the can of beer prior to use. The cans of beer could now be sold without being rigid, and before long, the first three thousand cans of beer were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Tubman Hockey puck, a musty product that became wildly popular in Mozambique, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of blankets of mist.

Marcie's best known invention, of course, is the electric razor, one of the major accomplishments of the 20th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Dream and vision Age. Every time you use the electric razor, you can thank Marcie.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Marcie Tubman was known as well as that of Babs Gordon herself. Marcie's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
