I know I'm very late with this, but the pneumatic post was invented by the Scotsman William Murdoch, who worked for Boulton & Watt as an engineer, he invented all kinds of shit, including a steam powered car, worked on gas lighting etc. He was a pretty awesome engineer (lot of those people at Boulton & Watt) and all around technical person - he was hired by Boulton when he noticed that the hat he came to the interview in was made of wood, he made it on his home made lathe. He also demonstrated a working steam-powered car model to Boulton before 1800, but since Watt's original patent was in force and Watt didn't like high pressure (non atmospheric) steam engines (he thought they were dangerous - which was pretty understandable considering the manufacturing problems he had with his own atmospheric engine (only one shop in all of England was capable of the necessary accuracy needed for the bores on the work cylinder, he had to waste years on creating the first working engine because of this issue)) which was needed for locomotion, Boulton met him when he was on the way to the patent office and talked him out of patenting his idea.
Anyway. There were city wide networks of pneumatic tubes in Berlin and Paris, both over 400 km long. The Paris one was the longest, it was in use until 1984. The last city that had it was I think Prague, where it was in use until 2002. Relatedly, in Paris, before electricity turned out to be the best solution for distributing power, there was also a high pressure *hydraulic* network for this. But loads of other European cities had *city wide* pneumatic networks.
Errr...sorry about this, couldn't help myself.

Someone gif the dolphin part.
Well whaddyaknow, someone's already done it (but it's shitty).

There's only one truly good Oglaf comic (though I'd rather not hotlink/host the pic elsewhere):

The fountain of doubt is pretty good too:

what's scarier is that this gif is probably in reverse
that'd be a hell of a way to go
Edit: bitesized, that duck poster is great!
sheesh, liberals.
