    True about Hedy Lamarr, but she never received any money for her patent.

    Oh Heddy. Now why did you go and do that? We were fine with Wofo, Wafa, and Wufu. All poodles, but very good at communication.

    As a man ages he too can remain active, though no longer erupt.

    Hedy Lamarr was one of the most beautiful women ever, and had great legs.
