I always wonder about things like this. Who were the first people that figured out how many days you have to boil them to make them safe? One day.... nope, Bob died. Two days... nope, Carl died. Three days... Yes! Fred lived!

And who originally thought, "These will kill you when you eat them, but maybe if we cooked them for a really long time..."
