Most Important Discovery/Invention
Every normal man must be tempted at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
I often wonder if the voices in my head ever get frustrated because I'm just too damn lazy to climb that clock tower.

Hi bug
Jeez Nice to see your Smilin Face again
It's been too long. Thanks for your reply and it of course is correct.
I had it in my head that the person was of Color, so i got off my fat butt and Googled.
This may be of interest to some.
Fred McKinley Jones was one of the most prolific Black inventors ever.
Jones patented more than sixty inventions, however, he is best known for inventing an automatic refrigeration system for long-haul trucks in 1935 (a roof-mounted cooling device).
Jones was the first person to invent a practical, mechanical refrigeration system for trucks and railroad cars, which eliminated the risk of food spoilage during long-distance shipping trips. The system was, in turn, adapted to a variety of other common carriers, including ships. Jones was issued the patent on July 12, 1940
