    I was watching this with headphones on in the exam room at the doctor's office. Evidently I was laughing loudly because when my doc came in she goes, "What are you watching?! I could hear you laughing at the end of the hall." Oops. But I might have gotten you another subscriber. She loves history and NYC.

    Good stuff :) For your part 2, you should do the negative feedback amplifier, invented by Harold Stephen Black for Bell Labs in Greenwich Village. Hugely important in the field of electrical engineering, it enabled things like long-distance telecommunications and early electronic computers, which was a foundationally important step in getting us to the modern world.

    Sheer brilliance, Tommy Boy. I began watching with a bit of trepidation, owing to the 'inventions' topic sounding so vapid. Who gives a rat's patut about inventions?! But after I'd survived the drek of the toilet paper segment, it seemed your soul-piercing Latino charisma buoyantly encouraged me along to an enjoyable finale. Bravo. I must now be a real fan if can wholly enjoy you regaling me with the discovering of Jello! What?! ^ _ ^ Hasta la proxima vez, mi Brujo Tomas

    It's true. "Necessity is the Mother of Invention". As yes, people commonly used Corn Cobbs ! But when Hotels installed the Flush Toilets, Some of these same Corn Cobb users, were trying to flush them down the Toilet ! Of course, the results were disastrous. That's when Scott Paper, came to the rescue, with Toilet Paper. In doing so, not only did it have a better solution for Human Hygiene ... But it saved the Hotel Industry.

    I know of someone named, "Durr". In the Metropolitan Opera there's a guy who's a tenor who looks just like him (from the 60's). Tying up bears is proof that you being "failed lawyer" is you being a good guy? Bears are sometimes known as cops and should a person go to jail . . . getting shot in jail just isn't fair? Koala bears look like Teddy Bears. Hunted into near extinction by Aborigine tribesmen (with a name that is similar to the 'N' word) UNLESS they could survive by eating the Eucalyptus leaves laden with alkaloid (heroin, cocaine, etc.) while hiding from the killers on the ground below. Elvis . . . "love you, Teddy Bear."
