Top 13 list of beneficial serendipities or accidental discoveries
While Wilfing on the internet, one of the norms I follow religiously is to apply the principle of seek and we shall find. However; I am uncertain if I found what I was looking for. Let me explain.
There are times when I discover stuff and I am not sure you understand what I mean by stuff unless you have read the story of stuff and I am assuming that you do not practise asking nosy questions, unless of course politey; not that there is anything wrong with that.
The truth according to Wikipedia is that accidental discoveries are also called as serendipities.
According to the magazine Wired, the top 10 list of accidental discoveries are
Viagra
LSD
X ray
Penicillin
Artificial sweetner
Microwave Owen
Brandy
Vulcanized rubber
Silly Putty
Potato chips
According to the website Listverse, the top 10 accidental discoveries are
Viagra
Chocolate chip cookies
Popsicles
Artificial sweetner
Brandy
Teflon
Microwave Owen
Potato chips
LSD
Penicillin
If you were to compare the two lists, then you would not come across a perfect match.
I compiled the two lists and accidentally discovered the top 13 serendipities.
Viagra
LSD
X ray
Penicillin
Artificial sweetner
Microwave Owen
Brandy
Vulcanized rubber
Silly Putty
Potato chips
Chocolate chip cookies
Popsicles
Teflon
How about that for a serendipity?
