The Wizard of Menlo Park!

[RICHARD]

One of the cable channels is doing a poll on the "Greatest American".

It's a four part special that will find out, based on an internet poll,
who is the person that we believe is the greatest.

Is it Bill Gates? Oprah? John Kennedy? M.L. King???

Nope.....

Abe Lincoln? Neil Armstrong? John Wayne???

LOSERS.


I know who I am not voting for.

Thomas Alva Edison, the inventor of the lightbulb isn't a popular guy in my house for the last three days.


Someone has found out that- If he lays underneath the halogen
desk lamp he'll stay warm...
And under that lamp is the keyboard to my computer.

Now I have to type with my keyboard on my lap..
:rolleyes:


Who woulda thought that after making one of the most important contributions to mankind, that my cat would be the one getting the most out of it.....

:confused:

Richard, everyone says that cats rule -- your Edster thinks he just proved that point! Why is he going to let you type conveniently on your keyboard while he could lay just as conveniently (and warmer) under the lamp ???

And this surprises you? Cats get the most out of EVERYTHING!!! Didn't you learn anything from your little water bowl adventure?;) :p :D :D
