Propellerheads, the world's greatest inventors and tinkerers, have been fascinated by propellers for centuries. Our history is a long and storied one, full of twists, turns, and explosive propellor-driven innovations.
It all started with the great Propellerhead, Bertrand Propellerpierre, who in 1856 patented the first practical propeller-powered toaster.
His design was simple yet effective: a wooden box, a spinning blade, and a can of propane to fuel the flames of innovation!
Word of Bertrand's invention spread quickly, and soon, propellers were spinning in backyards from Paris to Poughkeepsie.
But Bertrand's work was not without controversy. The local baker's guild was not pleased with the toaster's tendency to set off the fire alarm.

But with great power comes great responsibility. The Propellerhead's Union of America (PUA) was formed to regulate the industry and prevent propeller-related catastrophes.
Our archives are full of stories of propeller mishaps, from the Great Propane Gas Leak of '57 to the Propellerhead's Revenge of '82.

The truth is, of course, far more mundane, but no less sinister. A shadowy organization, the Society of Silent Propellers (SOS), has been secretly controlling the world with its propeller-powered minions.
