...hey, if you were the innovator, don't be shy! no need to wait for a "nomination!!!"
SlowBro didn't bring Whoopie Slings to the forum. He made a great layperson's tutorial for making them, but ZA206 gets credit for first showing a constrictor. He used the very similar UCR. Immediately following his post there was a flurry of 'back and forth' developments with both UCR's and Whoopies by several members (TeeDee, Frawg, Acercanto, Nacra, etc), but it was ZA206's idea that generated the whole thing.

With all due respect...
1) Some cat invents hammock to sleep off the ground.
2) Another thinks up the tarp to keep dry.
3) Third throws on a net to keep the bugs away.
And honorable mention:
4) One more figures out that an underquilt will keep his hind end warm.

Sgt. Rock on his site (maybe still there, maybe still does?) used to give awards for innovation.
I wan't to know who exactly came up with the 2/3's UQ--that is up there with a moon launch.
It might be easier to catalog the contributions of the stones comprising an avalanche.
