ignorance about the truth
i don't know why but many educated people feel proud of themselves for the mere knowledge of the inventor of telephone-Alexander Graham Bell. Their feeling would have been rightfully justifiable but only if it were true!
In Fact in 2002, Washington Dc passed a resolution recognizing the real inventor of telephone: Antonio Meucci.
Went for the coffee meet/quiz with Smokey and co and they asked a question who invented the telephone I said it was Mr A Bell.. He said I was incorrect.
He mentioned a name of some indian bloke the same guy who invented Chess..:)

Have you ever seen an Italian nativity scene?
It has Jesus, Mary, and three wise guys.
Was this inventor also stripped of his immuinty like the Italian PM..
Can help lauging..So I will also say pay peanuts and you get monkeys..

Pay coconuts & you get baboons.
AGB is the one.
Oh and Bell had cheated Meucci when the latter had submitted his prototype and designs. Bell stole and patented it.

pringles_88, Italy had to work very hard for Antonio Meucci's posthumous recognition, because the super power was simply reluctant to degrade the former vice-president of American telegraph!
messymiss's signature is good, that's why it's attracting so much attention.
How about, pay cheese and you get mice???

Pay peanuts & you get Monkeys
There is a theory that if you put 10 monkeys in a room and keep feeding them peanuts, eventually they'll invent the telephone!
Pay peanuts & you get Monkeys

The basic light bulb was invented by others before Thomas Alva Edison, he found a longer lasting filament, still only he gets credited with the invention. Plenty of similar stories.
double post:
Pay more peanuts & you get more Monkeys
And the person who actually came up with the theory of evolution was one of Darwin's friends who came up with the theory in the grips of malaria in Africa. At the end of the day though it was Darwin who published it and expanded on it.

Ye..aaa- see I told you to chnage your signature line
a. it's senseless
b. it's distractive
c. um ... no one really read the graham whats-his-face thingy you wrote up there
:P
ok jokes apart- Graham bell's mom became deaf and he made lots of effort out of love for his mother to invent something that aided her in hearing him ...
so shush - he was awesome ..
and hey just because US passed a resolution by yapping on a table, having debates on who invented the phone doesnt mean it has to be changed - he's still the inventor of telephone to me because my favorite 5th grade teacher said so... and I'll not simply just "take it" from someone - just because they're a super power
*Peace*---
No need to study it, brit. You practise it everyday. You can't fly, can't you? You are attracted by (for example) Chinese dolls. You type on your keyboard and your words appear on my screen. And, if you really have a serious question I am willing to try to answer it for you. Cheers.
cool.. I wish I had studied Physics more :O)
Yes, brit.
If gravity did not exist, then would we be able to have electromagnetic forces ?
and get a pretty
now that should be a new sign
That would not be quite correct, brit. Electromagnetic waves are not really influenced by gravitation, because the intermediate carrier of the electromagnetic force, the photon, does not have a mass.

At this rate we'll be able to say that without the Earth's gravitational pull, telephony would not be possible.. :O)
Without Maxwell's (Scottish) field equations none of the above would have worked!!
Elisha Gray was the real inventor of the working telephone.
Then I would like to add Reiss, also.
I do not concur with the resolution.... Thumbs up for AGB.
I prefer to stick with Alexander... I can't be bothered to say "Give me a Meucci"
marconni invented radio rite?...how is he even related?
Pay peanuts & you get Monkeys
I would say Marconi invented the telephone.
mmm, i will think about that when i am trying to solve my huge problems
but nice to mention this , thanks anyway

Pay peanuts & you get Monkeys
ok another source for the story:http://www.italianhistorical.org/page42.html
never got kicked in the nuts!!!!!!!!:P
Pay peanuts & you get Monkeys
life's a bitch what can I say
You are an example
pay peanuts and get kicked in the nuts after catching the monkey
yeah...maybe they payed them peanuts to announce who discovered who and what lol
but then the telephone is one of the world's best discovery so kudos to whoever invented it first...pure genius
And Wikipedia is the font of all knowledge. I'm not saying the info about AGB is wrong, but I can post anything to Wikipedia tonight and thousands will access it (and believe it) because "it's on the internet"
