John Logie Baird demonstrated TV in 1926, managed transatlantic TV in 1928, and the BBC were broadcasting TV in 1929.
Farnsworth demonstrated a fully electric TV in 1938.
Baird demonstrated colour TV in 1939.

Farnsworth didn't invent the TV - John Logie Baird did.

You know the little weird bit in the corner of your eye by your nose?
That's the remains of our third eyelid.

Ah. Add I understand it. The gas forms tiny bubbles. When you crack your knuckles they "burst" and the had disperses. It then takes time to create the little pockets again.

Ask and the internet shall provide. Basically, nitrogen bubbles.

The first bus line was started by Mrs Dorris Higgins, who stood for twenty minutes tutting loudly about how bad the service had got.

Reply to ELI5: If you drink a gallon of milk a day before it’s expiration date, would it go bad in your stomach and make you sick? Or would nothing happen? by br0ken-rec0rd
The expiry isn't going to be your problem.
Firstly, expiry dates have a little wiggle room in them. That's when the thing is becoming a risk, not when it's instantly dangerous.
Secondly... Go Google "Jackass gallon milk". It doesn't end well .

Reply to TIL that the first trademark legislation was passed by the British Parliament under the reign of King Henry III in 1266, which required all bakers to use a distinctive mark for the bread they sold, Bakers’ Marking Law was enacted. by cristianmonroy
Huh. I didn't know there were trademarks before the 1875 trademarks act. The Bass triangle was my one pub trivia fact...

No they aren't.
That's like saying Dyson invented the vacuum cleaner because they invented a different type of vacuum.
Farnsworth created a better version of TV. He didn't invent TV itself.
