Only Bloody Stupid Johnson could have invented the 13-inch foot and a triangle with three right angles in it. Only Bloody Stupid Johnson could have twisted common matter through dimensions it was not supposed to enter.
And only Bloody Stupid Johnson could have done all this by accident.Thud by Terry Pratchett
He's an inventor in Terry Pratchett's Discworld. He invents things that have a major flaw in then. For instance he invented the Post Office Mail Sorter and made pi just 3 instead of 3 point whatever and a little bit because it was neater. It did indeed sort mail, but it also got mail that hadn't been written yet, popped out with all those checks you tell people are in the mail, and things of that nature. The warping of space-time made being around the machine pretty dangerous.
He made an ornamental trout lake 150 yards long and one inch wide.
