Transcript:
Luann sits with her homework and says, "I guess I've learned a lot in school. Like who invented the lightbulb and who found Tahiti." Brad looks for something in the refrigerator. Luann says, "I know who discovered x-rays, who invented the atomic bomb and who found King Tut's tomb. But there's one thing I never learned..." "Luann says, "Who the heck invented school?" Brad says, "The guy who invented the atomic bomb."

Who found/invented/discovered, from memory:
Lightbulb. Normally cited as Thomas Alva Edison. He did not invent the electric light, but made one much more safe and efficient than preceding ones. I think his was the first âbulbâ. This also is one of his biggest mistakes: He predicted a quick result and couldnât deliver.
Tahiti. Polynesians. Europeans came by millenia later. [OK, wikipedia says Western Polynesians, before 500BC]
X-Rays. Arenât they also known as Roentgen Rays, found by Roentgen?
Atomic Bomb. I think it was a team working at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
King Tutâs tomb. Another team, led by Lord âCarnivanâ (sp?) [wikipedia: Carnarvon]
School. The Romans has schools, but not in the modern form. As I recall, an early proponent of modern schools was Emperor Charlemagne. He probably didnât invent them.
I will admit I could be wrong on some of these

Horace Mann is credited for inventing the concept of âschoolâ, apparently. He was a âpioneer of educational reforms in the US state of Massachusettsâ.
