We know more about space that we do about what’s in our oceans.
The Wright brothers only flew together once, because they promised they father they’d always fly separately.
Thomas Edison didn’t actually invent most of the inventions he patented.
Until 2016, Happy Birthday was copywrited and had royalty fees. In 2016, courts declared it part of the public domain.
Do you have any to add?

I do remember the happy birthday song and when it was 'outlawed' so to speak from wait staff singing it in restaurants.
One of my husband's brothers has 8 patents. He gets regular royalty payments as the devices are widely used in the tool & dye world. That guy is one smart cookie.

@AmbiePam The funny thing about his brother, Bob, is that my husband and him look like twins.
My husband has been walking down the street in the little town where Bob owned a shop, and people will meet him and greet him with a Hi Bob, and my hubs just smiles and says hello. Even the twins will call Uncle Bob Grandpa by mistake. And it is SO funny when they crawl up on his lap and get close to him and realize it is not Grandpa, the look on their face is priceless. We had alot of relatives that worked at the hospital, including Bob's wife, and I remember on several occasions going there and the nursing staff asking him if he is a V------ (our last name) and when he confirmed it, they would stop short and ask which one, and I was always quick to answer, the good looking one. That always got a reaction.

@AmbiePam They aren't dumb but they say most are only as smart as the average 2 year old. Nico isn't dumb either, but he has a learned helplessness thing going on
Of course that is probably mommy's fault..but he is not one to suffer silently.
