A Sumerian Fight
It was difficult to obtain a patent since the wheel was invented near-simultaneously in three
It was difficult to obtain a patent since the wheel was invented near-simultaneously in three versions, square, oval and round. And, while the square and oval wheels were good enough for carting the mother-in-law around, the round version had stiff competition from the pogo stick for serious methods of personal transport. Anyway, the patents office in Uruk only opened on alternate Wednesday afternoons and was always packed.
The fight for dominance between wheeling and pogoing was settled in July 3502 B.C. when somebody invented beer. The wheel won when it was found Pogoists fell off in mid air when pissed.
