My uncle was the tsar of all the Russias. He later married Jean Harlow. And he invented the electric guitar. Since we're just making shit up.

fucker, is awful. My maternal Grandfather‘s cousin was Philo T. Farnsworth,”his high school chemistry teacher, Justin Tolman, produced a sketch he had made of a blackboard drawing Farnsworth had shown him in spring 1922. Farnsworth won the suit; RCA appealed the decision in 1936 and lost.

Phil received royalties from RCA, but he never became wealthy…He had patents ( 150) in a number of areas including radar, microscope. Phil is most famous person in my family. My Mother would tear up talking about her relative. It was Philo’s integrity, simplicity and honesty revered in Her family.

Radar, as I understand only in a limited way, was invented in Britain, and the technology was gifted to the US during WW2. The President, as I understand too well, would likely lie about anything.

Jerry Lee Lewis supposedly screamed–after he doused his beloved piano in lighter fluid and struck a match–to spite Chuck Berry (who had top billing): “Top this motherf*cker!”

That's like that wonderful bit from "Glory" wherein Denzel Washington's character informs the other recruits that he ran for president. They take in the madness for a moment. "Didn't win though" he finally offers.
