Ironman

Stanford Alumni: When it comes to ironing, there’s been little to get hot and bothered about since the invention of the household steam iron more than 50 years ago.

Another smart Iranian!

Congratulations! Another smart Iranian! I am not too crazy about ironing but if you send me one, I certainly will try it. I believe that all the devices, machines, like cars, house hold times, etc… should be checked and examined by a team of women before heading to the market. For example one can find a few places for the eye glasses in the car, but none for the trash and a tissue box. Looking forward to check your future inventions!
