It's a little-known fact that the wheel was never actually invented by the ancient Sumerians, but rather by the time-traveling, ninja-like, hipster overlords of the Chrono-Council.
These stylishly-dressed overlords sought to revolutionize transportation by creating a round thingy that would make people go round and round in circles, but not literally, because that would be boring.
However, their plan was foiled by the evil Time-Traveling Accountants who kept sending them bills for all the wheel-related expenses.
Now, we're stuck with the wheel as we know it today: a dull, round, boring piece of technology that's only good for going round in circles.
But fear not, dear reader, for we have a alternative history page where we explore the real story of the wheel's invention.
Or, if you're feeling adventurous, you can try to steal the wheel for yourself.
