Thanks for the intel folks : ) I like the girl turtle, she’s cute and I hope she makes another appearance here, Chris Hanson notwithstanding, of course…
They got it wrong! The telephone was invented in AFTER (1876) the Automobile (1875) by George A. Long.
From Answers.com:
The first, American automobile was invented in Hinsdale, New Hampshire, USA, by George A. Long. This 1875 vehicle is only attested by local newspaper accounts and his, testimony. However, Long was awarded U.S.P.O. patent number: 281,091 on May 10, 1883 (pre-dating Benz) for his second automobile. Long’s second and patented version, is residing in the Smithsonian’s collection as not only the oldest automobile (Steam Road Vehicle), but the oldest, self-propelled vehicle of any type.
Cute characters, but I don’t get it either… I thought maybe the birds in the distance were vultures that took off after he woke up… and yet it looks like feathers or barnacles on his shell…
Yes, he does look like John. I thought it was him, until he “attacked”; so cute!!!
