Now if you answered Alexander Graham Bell, you´re quite wrong. Wrong you say? Yes very wrong! Bell patented his phone 1876, but the phone was invented 1849 by Antonio Meucci. 153 years later he gets the credit for the invention by the US congress. It´s right here. Now lets edit those history books ;)

Yeah, he invented it he did not to get the patent...
Guess what, it happened also with the gasoline engine: it was invented by an Italian, Barsanti, but, once again, he didn't exploit the thing and the engine was later reinvented.

I was *so* gonna say Alexander Grahm Bell. I haven't even heard of this guy, and how can you *steal* someone's invention like that and get away with it? Not to mention the praise for it! Ah the judicial system... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I wonder if 150 years from now they'll say the same about windows and give the patent to Xerox . . .
