When most people are asked this question, they usually say, "Billy Joel of course. He started the fire." But they are mistaken. The original purpose of the lighter was to provide "light". It was developed by King Ter the Third, president of Ancient Australia the Second, during the 1450's. King Ter the Third loved to read, but when it was dark he could not see. So King Ter the Third invented the first portable light powered by gas. He called it Light-Ter. The king's invention was brilliant! That was until gas prices rose in the early 1490's due to the new Columbus Cruise Line which traveled to the Americas. So the King went bankrupt and he was forced to sell Ancient Australia the Second to his wife.
