 Posted by Jack Mingo on 2000/10/24 10:22:10 GMT-4 Craven Walker, inventor of the Lava Lamp, died August 15. Walker was a genuine eccentric--among other things, he was a purveyor of nudist films for the porn trade in the 1950s. He told at least two versions of his invention: One was that he discovered the lava principle while working on making an egg timer. Another was that he improved a design that he'd "borrowed" from a mysterious Mr. Dunnett, whose invention he saw while drunk in a British pub. Both versions, and more Lava Lamp lore, can be found here: http://members.tripod.com/fleabitten/
