Thomas Edison Benjamin Franklin Albert Einstein Henry Ford Thomas Edison 14 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: THOMAS EDISON Answer: Thomas Edison was one of the most famous and prolific inventors of all time. In an interview published in the September 1932 edition of Harper's Monthly Magazine, Edison described the secret to his success as an inventor. "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." It means that genius is largely the result of hard work, rather than an inspired flash of insight. Edison was of the view that geniuses are made, not born. Edison tested 3000 theories for the electric light before he came up with one that worked. It was this epic perseverance that led him to observe, "genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."

The Munsters The Ewings The Addamses The Jetsons The Addamses 14 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: ADDAMSES Answer: Lurch is a fictional character created by cartoonist Charles Addams as a manservant to The Addams Family. In the original television series, Lurch was played by 6'9" Ted Cassidy, who used the famous catchphrase, "You rang?" Lurch is a tall, shambling, lugubrious butler who somewhat resembles Frankenstein's monster with a deep, resonant voice. As originally conceived, Lurch was to have no lines, but in the show's pilot episode, Ted Cassidy ad-libbed the line "You rang?" in his trademark deep voice, and it was so impressive that it led to Lurch getting more dialogue.

Bird feeder Coffee pot Disneyland Bronx Zoo Coffee pot 16 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: COFFEE POT Answer: Nobody likes arriving to an empty coffee pot. Especially computer scientists at Cambridge University—which is why, back in 1991, a team of them invented the world's first webcam to keep an eye on coffee levels from their desks. They rigged up a camera to grab images of the coffee pot three times a minute, and wrote software to send the images across their computer network. Ironically, the “webcam” actually predates the “web” by a couple of years, but as soon as the World Wide Web went up, the service was connected to the internet.

"Seize the day" "Let the buyer beware" "I think, therefore I am" "I came, I saw, I conquered" Let the Buyer beware 22 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: LET THE BUYER BEWAARE Answer: Caveat emptor is a Latin phrase that can be roughly translated in English to "let the buyer beware." While the phrase is sometimes used as a proverb in English, it is also sometimes used in legal contracts as a type of disclaimer. In many jurisdictions, it is the contract law principle that places the onus on the buyer to perform due diligence before making a purchase. The term is commonly used in real property transactions–as it relates to the sale of real estate property, and transactions of other types of goods, such as cars.

George Washington Caesar Rodney Paul Revere Lady Godiva Caesar Rodney 6 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: CAESAR RODNEY Answer: The Delaware state quarter depicts Caesar Rodney's historic horseback ride in 1776. Despite his obscurity, Caesar Rodney was a founding father, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and an American war hero. On July 1, 1776, Rodney famously set off on his historic 80-mile journey to Philadelphia withstanding thundershowers and a severe summer heat wave. His ride ended at the doorstep of Independence Hall just in time to cast Delaware's deciding vote in favor of our nation's independence. This native of Dover has also held more public offices than any other Delaware citizen.
