The Brilliance of Mahatma GandhiWhen Mahatma Gandhi was studying law at the University College of London, there was a professor, whose last name was Peters, who felt an animosity for Gandhi, and because Gandhi never lowered his head towards him, their "arguments" were very common.

One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room of the University and Gandhi came along with his tray and sat next to the professor. The professor, in his arrogance, said, "Mr Gandhi: you do not understand… a pig and a bird do not sit together to eat", to which Gandhi replies, "You do not worry professor, I'll fly away", and he went and sat at another table.

Mr. Peters, green of rage, decides to take revenge on the next test, but Gandhi responds brilliantly to all questions. Then, Mr. Peters asked him the following question, "Mr Gandhi, if you are walking down the street and find a package, and

within it there is a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of money; which one will you take?”

Without hesitating, Gandhi responded, "the one with the money, of course".

Mr. Peters, smiling, said, "I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom, don't you think?”

"Each one take what one doesn't have", responded Gandhi indifferently.

Mr. Peters, already hysterical, writes on the exam sheet the word "idiot" and gives it to Gandhi. Gandhi takes the exam sheet and sits down. A few minutes later, Gandhi goes to the professor and says, "Mr. Peters, you signed the sheet, but you did not give me my grade".

The Waterwheel Washing Machine combines the Chinese waterwheel with the spinning motions of today's washing machines, resulting in an inexpensive device powered entirely by water.

Designed for people who live near water but do not have access to electricity, the Waterwheel's body is divided into three separate compartments (cabins) that can accommodate the clothes of three different families. The cabins are lined with triangular ridges of wood, which increase the agitation of the clothes, while the inset vanes fill with the moving water to both wet the clothes and spin the water wheel.
