I've never understood why women love cats. Cats are independent, they don't listen, they don't come in when you call, they like to stay out all night, and when they're home they like to be left alone and sleep.
In other words, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat.
StenotypeIn 1876, the stenotype was patented by John C. Zachos of New York City (No. 175,892). This was the first U.S. patent for a device for printing legible text in the English alphabet at a high reporting speed, which he called a "typewriter and phonotypic notation." The type was fixed on eighteen shuttle bars, two or more of which may be simultaneously placed in position. The impression was given by a plunger common to all bars. He called his new system of shorthand "stenophonotypy."* |
