 DC> ... Loevenhoek out, and someone will bite.

 JB> I'll bite, who's Leovenhoek?

 DC> He used a telescope as a microscope.

Fascinating how far we've come, isn't it? 

 JB> ... H.Ford did NOT invent the assembly line.T/middle-class+union

 DC> Didn't Remmington do that first?

Nope... Some Scott FWIR. Unless Remington started his career there... BTW, d'ya
ever see the original facsimile machine? It has one large wire, with both
terminals connected to ground. A spark gap, and heat sensitive paper interrupt
the electricity on a pendulum arrangement. I forget now what the reader
invoked, but that system was also invented by a Scott.

 DC> ... Eki Whitney discovered that gin could be made from cotton.

Do you mean "Eli"?
