I just read recently that it was not Guttenberg who discovered printing but the chinese has been doing it centuries before. I found out too that it was not the wright brothers who first flew a plane but it was someone who've done it a year before. The name just slipped my mind. The same with the light bulb. I wonder how much of these are really true, or just people just want to get attention and make waves.
Any ideas, or more trivias perhaps.

I love trivial, useless, interesting information. I owned a few books on trivial information. And about the aeroplane, you're right. The Wright bros weren't the first to fly a plane. It was Felix du Temple who designed a steam-driven monoplane which managed to fly for a second or two in 1874. The first successful flight was conducted by the Wright bros. That's why they are named as the first people to fly a plane. The others weren't able to sustain the flight and weren't able to travel far unlike the Wright bros who were able to fly further and longer.
