Torque was greatly understood prior to Dominic Cummings research in 1910. Prior to then the calculations were off by several orders of magnitude and the paper required to draw the graph so large it had to account for the curvature of the earth, hence torque curve.

Experiments to convert kinetic energy into audible sound and then to relate that to terms people can grasp has determined that torque is cheep.

Dominic Cummings is all torque and no momentum

Dominic Cummings (former advisor to 10 Downing St) and Alastair Campbell (former advisor to 10 Downing St) invented electricity.

However, their DC and AC variants of electricity were completely incompatible and this dispute escalated, with the rival sides engaged in a power struggle.

As part of the peace treaty, it was negotiated that the right-wing DC electricity would be used for mobile installations, and the socialist AC electricity was more appropriate for fixed installations.

Domininc Cummings invented the cummerbund, a convenient place for politicians to stash plain brown envelopes full of cash when on a dinner engagement. He got the idea while dilligently self isolating when suffering with Corvid 69.

Alistair Campbell is credited with inventing Campbell's soup. However this is incorrect. Campbell invented the fake Campbell's soup tin with concealed screw top lid, so politicians could roll up their takings, slip it in the can, and thus keep the cash safe from burglars.

In a scene not unlike the "Sorting Hat" from Harry Potter's Hogwarts, all new MPs are presented with a small selection of Jane Austen novels on first appointment.

They are asked to select a single word from the titles, such as "Sense, Sensibility, Pride, Prejudice", and that choice dictates the direction of their political career.

Austen's later novel "Dishonesty and Corruption" is now out of print, but available in the House of Commons library.

Blackpool Tower was originally an oil well to extract the mineral deposit the town was named after.
