The history of science is often seen as a story of advancement but nothing could be further from the truth. Science has progressed, but rarely in the direction intended. This has a lot to do with the people responsible. Justin Pollard fills us in on how eleven people claimed to have invented the steam engine and why the first website was twelve foot across and made of wood.
