No, it was a nice try oldbroad - only problem is it referred to one discovery in particular and not discoveries in general smile

12. That would be Elvis Presley. grin
A couple years ago I went to Graceland in Tennessee. I was disappointed to learn that, while stationed in Germany, Elvis was allowed to live off post and moved his whole family to Germany. Not really the army stint expected of a typical draftee.

#4 ... why that's a member of my favorite edible plant "Ginger" yes

Have not seen the small crystalized ginger bottles in the Spice section of the market for quite some time now. WOM used to make a heavenly mixture of ginger and local honey to make tea with ... oh my goodness it was marvelous.
