Answer

When agriculture was first developed, simple hand-held digging sticks or hoes would have been used in highly fertile areas, such as the banks of the Nile where the annual flood rejuvenates the soil, to create furrows wherein seeds could be sown.

The domestication of oxen in Mesopotamia and by its contemporary Indus valley civilization, perhaps as early as the 6th millennium BC, provided mankind with the pulling power necessary to develop the plough. The very earliest plough was the simple scratch-plough, or ard, which consists of a frame holding a vertical wooden stick that was dragged through the topsoil (still used in many parts of the world). It breaks up a strip of land directly along the ploughed path, which can then be planted. Because this form of plough leaves a strip of undisturbed earth between the rows, fields are often cross-ploughed at right angles.

The Greeks apparently introduced the next major advance in plough design; the crooked plough, which angled the cutting surface forward, leading to the name. The cutting surface was often faced with bronze or (later) iron. Metal was expensive, so in times of war it was melted down or forged to make weapons - or the reverse in more peaceful times. This is presumably the origin of the term found in The Bible "beat your swords to ploughshares".

Answer 2

Well, back in the day, I met the guy who had the idea and he wanted to let me in on it, but I had some better things to do because I planned on marrying my wife with that money (I'm a poor man, all I do is paint houses). He saw so many dead cats and dogs in the street and he wanted to clean it for people for free. So he put this block of wood on the back of a cow and rode across the street to clean it. I was in law school at the time (I didn't get a job as a lawyer because some blonde took my job). He decided to sell the idea to other people for $1000 dollars and soon he was a millionaire. I shouldn't have denied that offer or dismissed that client so I wouldn't be painting houses now.

Answer 3
