AND THEN, THERE'S HENRY!
Regualr followers of this blog know I
enjoy telling you about inventors and
some of their inventions that have changed
our everyday lives in some way. I can't
really say that about Henry Tibbe's
invention. It didn't have any impact on
most people's lives. But, in a way, you
could say it had a small effect on helping
us win World War II! You see Henry's
patent of this date in 1878 was for
improvements to the corn cob pipe!
And you'd be hard pressed to find a
photograph of General Douglas MacArthur.
who lead out forces in the war against
Japan, in which he did not have his
trademark corn cob pipe! I guess it
served him pretty well. So put that in
your pipe and smikw it! Hope you're well
and that all yoru NEWS is good!
