Personal computerInternetBluetoothHybrid Car the Internet!!!!! Answer: Former Vice President Al Gore is frequently quoted as claiming credit for the invention of the internet, but what he actually said in a 1999 CNN interview was “I took the initiative in creating the internet.” Gore was widely mocked for this statement. But the men who did invent the internet, TCP/IP designers Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf, argue that Gore was “the first political leader to recognize the importance of the internet and to promote and support its development.” As a Senator in the 1980s Gore urged government agencies to consolidate what at the time were several dozen different and unconnected networks into an “Interagency Network”. ps:I'm glad they cleared that up! One of the reasons I've never cared for this man is because for that!! Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

That's 54 seconds longer than the world's previous best time (which Segura also set). The record was set on February 28th, 2016 in Barcelona in an event broadcast on live TV. Vendrell achieved the record with the help of what is known as an oxygen-assist. He breathed pure oxygen for a period of time before beginning his extended float.

As the story goes, the drink's famous "Merchandise 7X" flavoring has remained unchanged since it was concocted in 1886. According to the company, only two employees are privy on how to mix the super-secret “Merchandise 7X” flavoring, and those employees are not permitted to travel on the same plane for fear the secret goes down with them. The identity of the two employees in possession of the secret is itself a secret. The formula is kept under 24-hour guard in a vault in Atlanta, Georgia.
