Laszlo Biro Samuel Pilot Bic Papermate Michael Ball 14 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: LASZIO BIRO Answer: The first man to develop and launch a ball-point pen was the Hungarian László Jozsef Bíró, who invented a ball-point pen with a pressurized ink cartridge. He is considered the inventor of today's ball-point pen. Biro noticed that the ink used in newspaper printing dried quickly, leaving the paper dry and smudge-free. Since the thicker ink would not flow from a regular pen nib, he fitted his pen with a tiny ball bearing in its tip. Moving along the paper, the ball rotates picking up ink from the ink cartridge and leaving it on the paper. This principle of the ballpoint pen dates back to a never commercially exploited patent of 1888 owned by John J. Loud for a product to mark leather.

Christian Dior Coco Chanel Giorgio Armani Oscar de la Renta Answer: The iconic French fashion designer “Coco” Chanel is one of the most significant designers in the fashion industry. She was the founder and namesake of the Chanel brand. The concept of “Little Black Dress” is often attributed to Chanel as she took a color most associated with mourning and popularized it for evening wear, stressing how chic the color looked in many of her designs. Chanel herself vowed that in 1920, while observing an audience at the opera, she would dress all women in black. She is the only fashion designer listed on TIME magazine's list of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century.

Answer: Joseph Jackson is best known for being the father of international pop superstar Michael Jackson, and the patriarch of the Jackson family of entertainers. Joseph Jackson shares his name with Joseph “Shoeless Joe” Jackson, a top major league baseball player during the early 20th century. “Shoeless Joe” was ultimately banned from the game because of his involvement in the 1919 Black Sox Scandal, in which members of the 1919 Chicago White Sox participated in a conspiracy to fix the World Series. ps:I shoulda got that, but didn't really understand or think through the answer!!

Dr. Zhivago Dr. Herold Dr. Mudd Dr. Dre 4 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: DR MUDD Answer: Dr. Samuel Mudd was the Maryland physician who was imprisoned for conspiring with John Wilkes Booth in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. On this day in 1865, John Wilkes Booth shot and mortally wounded President Abraham Lincoln. Booth and an accomplice fled on horseback to Dr. Mudd's house where Mudd treated Booth, who had broken his left leg when he jumped down onto the stage of Ford's Theater after shooting Lincoln. There, in addition to setting Booth's leg, the doctor gave the two food, lodging and fresh horses, allowing them to evade federal authorities for 11 more days. Dr. Mudd was arrested and convicted of aiding and abetting the assassins and sentenced to life in prison. The phrase "your name is mud" became associated with the doctor. Former CBS newsman Roger Mudd is a distant relative to Dr. Samuel Mudd. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
