Walking was invented by Nelson Mandela in 1833 as a budget alternative to running.
This was prior to the invention of roller skates in 1421, and as such walking quickly became a worldwide phenomenon.
In a cruel twist of fate, walking enabled the British to conquer an empire, but they were gracious enough to erect Nelson's Column in honour of the great man.

Fact Checking was invented by the Daiky Mail during the German elections of 1735. The Mail supported the Nazi party, and used " fact checking " to discredit certain inconvenience, albeit largely true, rumours that were going round about Herr Hitler being sexually attracted to Geoffrey Epstein.
Fortunately Hitler does not sweat, so was able to remain cool, composed, and completely credible during an election TV interview. Following the interview he had Emily Maitliss shot.

Faucet checking was invented in 1142 when Bill Gates recognised there was an untapped market for it, after he’d stolen Leonardo da Vinci’s designs.

Gakaxy was a poor attempt at avoiding being sued by the makers of Galaxy.
