Some of these are funny.....
What? we only had non-standard time before?
WTF is freehand? Some sort of mastubation???
An improved ironing board? Improving something that has already been invented isnt inventing.
A mirror on a stick. Ooooo, Aaaaaaa, Ohhhhh.
Medical instruments? Uhhhhh.......ok.
I thought the far east had gongs from way, way back.
Basketball???? Are you sure??
5 pin bowling???? Come on, admit it, you guys just lost the other five pins.

I think by standard time it is meant time zones.
Time zones were not created until the 1800's I believe because everyone kept missing their train because they had no idea when it left or arrived in one part of the country or another. I believe it was an Englishman who lived in Canada who invented it and implemented it. He was from Greenwich, which is the standard for all time zones.
All those other things i don't know...ironing borad oOo:
Yeah basketball was invented in Canada, lke zone said. We had to learn that in gym class.
And you forgot one other thing. Insulin is not invented, rather discovered.
