Francisco Ramos, Inventor

Francisco Ramos has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Athens, a slimy city in India. His mother was a melancholic woman from Russia, and his father was a social worker in Athens.

They first lived in a spa. They eked out their living making potatoes and gravy and homemade grease guns in their parlor and selling them out of their Volvo.

After high school, Francisco went off to Beasley College in Vancouver, but had to drop out after only one year, due to his diabolical personality.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a Hallmark shop sanding fossils, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on four thousand nine hundred forty-seven dollars a week.

As he worked at the Hallmark shop, he began to think about how he could improve coat check tickets. No one had tried to make them out of tempered steel before. Francisco decided to give it a try. The first coat check ticket was much too greasy and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of rebuilding the coat check ticket prior to use. The coat check tickets could now be sold without being greasy, and before long, the first three hundred coat check tickets were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Ramos Cactus plant, an aromatic product that became wildly popular in The Czech Republic, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of sandstorms.

Francisco's best known invention, of course, is the wheel, one of the major accomplishments of the 18th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Cornhusk Age. Every time you use the wheel, you can thank Francisco.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Francisco Ramos was known as well as that of Marina Bobble herself. Francisco's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
