A Comprehensive List of Notable Kentucky Inventions Volume II
- Limited Edition Screen Print

High Fives
There are actually two Kentucky claims for the invention of the hand gesture known as the “High Five”. One places it at a University of Louisville Cardinals basketball practice during the 1978–79 season, while another was attributed to Lamont Sleets, who played basketball for Murray State University in the 1960s. The Sleets claim has been labeled as a hoax, perpetuated by the creator of National High Five Day.

Cheeseburgers
Kaelin's Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, claims to have invented the cheeseburger in 1934.

Disco Balls
A Louisville, Kentucky company, Omega National Products claims to have made 90% of the discoballs used in the United States during the height of the disco craze, and remains a supplier.

Radio
To some, Nathan B. Stubblefield of Murray, Kentucky is considered the Father of Radio. He pioneered“wireless telephony”, a system of wireless communication which actually predated radio. Although there is some debate as to whether actual radio waves were used in his experiments, his innovations eventually contributed to the birth of modern radio.

Corvettes
GM’s Corvette Assembly Plant and Corvette Museum are both located in Bowling Green, Ky.

Zombies
Kentucky can actually lay claim to several iterations of the modern-day zombie. Most notably, the popular Walking Dead franchise. Robert Kirkman, along with co-creator and illustrator Tony Moore were childhood friends from Cynthiana, Kentucky and both attended UK. They created the Walking Dead comic book series that the popular TV show is based on. Also, Louisville becomes the setting for a zombie outbreak in the 1985 cult horror classic, The Return of the Living Dead.

Traffic Signals
Garrett Augustus Morgan was an inventor from Claysville, Kentucky. In 1923, the U.S. Patent Office granted Patent No. 1,475,074 to Morgan for his three-position traffic signal. Although not the first traffic signal, his important innovation led to the traffic signals we know today.

The “Happy Birthday” song
“Happy Birthday to You”, or simply “Happy Birthday” is credited to sisters Patty and Mildred Hill. In 1893, Patty was teaching kindergarten in what is now known as The Little Loomhouse in Louisville. The sisters composed the tune as one that could be easily sung by children, and several variations of the song, with different lyrics exist.
