![Contributions [edit] As mentioned in his plays, some of Jára Cimrman's achievements and contributions include: • He proposed the Panama Canal to the U.S. government, while composing a libretto for an opera of the same name. • He reformed the school system in Galicia. • With Count Zeppelin he constructed the first rigid airship using Swedish steel and Czech wicker (the wicker being for the cabin). • He was deported from Germany as an anarchist, his personal documents carrying a note that he was "a source of unrest." This led the Swiss company Omega to offer him a job to improve the unrest-balance wheel-for their Piccolo line of ladies watches. (N.B. the Czech and German words for a watch's balance wheel ("nepokoj", "Unruhe") mean "unrest.") While in Switzerland, he introduced (and practised for some time) the field of obstetrics. • He conducted investigations into the life of cannibalistic tribes in the Arctic; and once, while running away from one furious tribe, he missed the North Pole by just seven meters, thus almost becoming the first human reaching the North Pole. • In Paraguay, he created the first puppet-show. • In Vienna he established the school of criminology, music and ballet. • He corresponded with George Bernard Shaw for many years, without response. • He invented yogurt. • He helped many great scientists: He carried on his own back the 45 tubs of pitchblende to the basement of Pierre and Marie Curie, he assisted Prof. Burian with his first plastic surgery, he reworked the electrical contact on Thomas Edison's first light bulb, and he found an sublet for Gustave Eiffel. • He is the creator of the philosophy of Externism. • Because of his enthusiasm for natural sciences, he discovered the monopole (as opposed to the then well known dipole), but this discovery fell into obscurity until it was revived by 20th century economists. The joke hinges on the similarity between the Czech words "monopol" (monopoly) - and "monopól" (monopole). • He advised Mendeleev, after seeing the first draft, that the Periodic Table should be rotated to its current orientation. • It is said that when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, he found 3 missed calls from Jára Cimrman upon making his first connection. average Czech fictional character](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/002/716/288/9ff.jpeg "The Czechposting continues... | History Memes")
