	Outstanding - and useful. Showed me what an idiot I am.

	There are accounts of the Loch Ness Monster going back to the 6th century. Did you mean photographic sightings?

	Also, Radar is a real stretch. While many of the underlying principles had been discovered and researched prior to 1912, nothing resembling the actual technology existed until 1922 and there was no patent until 1930. The term Radar wasn't even coined until 1940.

	Hi. I don't think there was any concept of the Loch Ness 'monster' as we know it until the 1930s. I don't think the specific term or the common legend, according to the general sources, really existed at all prior to that. I think you're definitely right about including radar as an answer and have replaced it, thanks.

	Saying that the OED is less than a hundred years old is questionable at best--as Wikipedia explains, "Work began on the dictionary in 1857...In 1895, the title The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) was first used unofficially on the covers of the series and in 1928 the full dictionary was republished in ten bound volumes." The first complete publication might have been less than a hundred years ago, but "the OED" is older than that.

	Gah, I kept telling myself "Teddy Bears came around the time of Roosevelt." I was so quick to dismiss it that I had associated it with the wrong Roosevelt.

	The Rolling Stones. :P That made me laugh!

	I don't know about the helicopter. I suppose you could say one was invented more than 100 years ago, but it didn't fly successfully.

	How is the Titanic sinking more than 100 years ago? Ok, now that I see that it's a right answer, I get it, but I thought that because it was 100 years ago and not 101, so it wouldn't count. I thought I was being all clever and now I see that around 3/4 of people were cleverer than me. Oh well.

	Have to disagree on the Loch Ness monster, St Columba wrote of an encounter with an unnatural beast in Loch Ness in the 6th century, that's the origin of the myth
