Instead of hi jacking Ricks thread, sorry.
Let's start on new technology for famous people who have gone before us here.

Julius Caesar

Stab proof vest
 
That made me laugh out loud the Vlad the Impaler.

Romeo and Juliet- text messaging, it would have had a happy ending then
 
I haven't seen Rick's previous thread, but had to google Marigold's reply, ha ha, you're all too intellectual. I have tried to think one up myself. Not sure if I got the gist, but...

Joan of Arc - Fire extinguisher
 
Yes, my favourite too. ???
But my classical education is non existent so can someone explain Achilles and safety boots!


In Greek mythology, when Achilles was a baby, it was foretold that he would die young. To prevent his death, his mother Thetis took Achilles to the River Styx, which was supposed to offer powers of invulnerability, and dipped his body into the water; however, as Thetis held Achilles by the heel, his heel was not washed over by the water of the magical river. Achilles grew up to be a man of war who survived many great battles but died from a poisoned arrow wound to his heel shot by Paris (Helen's lover) in the Trojan wars.

So someone who is otherwise strong may have a weak spot which renders them vulnerable - their 'Achilles heel."
