Or so he had made claims. In fact, there were too many extenuating
circumstances to even consider that he did invent the telephone.

 WD> The data at hand are undisputable

The data at hand is disputable, as he could very well have raised the
money to patent his device, if it had been a viable invention. It wasn't.
If it were, any and all of those he approached (he actually had a lawyer
do the work), his so called telephone device wouldn't have had a problem
getting a patent and someone to implement it.

 WD>  and by act of the US House of Representatives, House Resolution 269

Which doesn't mean squat even IF it's true.

 WD> There's only one country in the world not recognising Meucci and
 WD> that's Canada. :) ... Bell was a Canadian BTW, not an American ... :)

Wrong, Bell was born in Scotland, migrated to Canada and then the US,
where he invented the telephone.

I guess it's been a while since you've seen a flash of light provided by
the electricity of mother nature's lightning. And man made electric light
is possible by striking an electrical charge in several types of welders.

A uropeon invention, by the way. Well, British, not really a uro.

 WD> from Europe!

And God took a handful of South wind and from it formed a horse, saying:
"I create thee, Oh Arabian. To thy forelock, I bind Victory in battle.
On thy back, I set a rich spoil And a Treasure in thy loins. I establish
thee as one of the Glories of the Earth ... I give thee flight without
wings." -- from Ancient Bedouin Legend

I think God had a hand in creating the horse, not uropeons. BTW, Arabians
are the oldest and purest of horse breeds. Thus, if anything, horses &
donkeys thrived in Africa before they were discovered and imported to
urope.

They were in existance in southwestern America long before that house was
built. Adobe brick. Before them, bricks as huge as your house were made in
Eygpt.

And these days, we're now convinced that you're both full of shit.

If you can't convince them with facts, try feeding them more bullshit.
Yes, we know how that goes. It runs in your genes.

Kama Sutra Etymology: Sanskrit kama `love' + sutra `rule'

Do you see anything about Menno Blom there?

How do you feel about the war criminals who persecuted them in urope?

But he died with a guilty conscience because of the use his discovery was
put.

As opposed to uropeons who've taken many of the same opportunities to fuck
things up?

So, why did Edward leave belgum again?
