In Victorian times, there was an intense fear of being buried alive, so when someone died, a small hole was dug from the casket to the surface, then a string was tied around the dead persons finger which was then attached to a small but loud bell that was hung on the surface of the grave, so then if someone was buried alive, they could ring the bell and whomever was on duty would go and dig them up. Someone was on the clock 24 hours a day- hence the grave yard shift.

Really? I thought that the OK originated from a factory worker whose initials were OK. When he stamped his initials on things every one knew it would be the highest quality. OK became common use after that. So much useless trivia. Not even alex would mess with this.

The first words that Thomas A. Edison spoke into the phonograph were, "Mary had a little lamb."

 

Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors.

 

According to U.S. law, a patent may not be granted on a useless invention, on a method of doing business, on mere printed matter, or on a device or machine that will not operate. Even if an invention is novel or new, a patent may not be obtained if the invention would have been obvious to a person having ordinary skill in the same area at the time of the invention.

no, 'light years' is DISTANCE by definition... the DISTANCE light travels in a year...

 

You're probably thinking of 'light speed' (see how "speed" is right in the name?)
