Have a read up on Clair Patterson (a bloke, not a woman) who first figured out maybe lead in everything wasn't such a good idea. That started when he was a university, and one day his professor told him to go off and figure out how old the world was. "Piece of cake, what you do is..."

While I agree with Stefan that Tom's inventions were mostly "well, it seemed like a good idea at the time", I still think he needs a statue for the pigeons to crap on. Make it out of asbestos or something.
