My math teacher as a senior in high school was Dr. Zamboni. I believe he said he was the great-nephew of the inventors.

I'm still a novice, so I don't know how to post a picture, plus I don't want to step on Hobie's toes, so Hobie, could you post the Google pic for today. It honors Jackie Robinson. It's pretty cool and, duh, it has to do with baseball.
Thanks
Thanks

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Mary Leakey 100th Birthday
The contributions of Mary Leakey to the realms of archaeology and anthropology, especially in the understanding of human evolution, can’t be understated, and she gets her due via today’s Doodleon what would have been her 100th birthday.
Mary’s life story represents a classic tale of a person for whom formal education just didn’t work. But once she discovered archaeology, and found her way onto a number of UK digs, her fate was sealed. When already-renowned scientist Louis Leakey needed an illustrator for a book, she got the job, and ended up marrying him and moving to Africa where they ran numerous digs, especially in the Olduvai valley, and made a tremendous series of discoveries in the 1950s. By 1960, while Louis worked as Curator of the Coryndon Museum, Mary was running the sites in the valley (always accompanied by their Dalmatian dogs, as represented in the Doodle), where they would eventually discover and categorize the human ancestor Homo Habilis, and later the Laetoli Footprints, which would prove that hominids were walking upright a million years before the earliest tool use had been seen. There are many places online to learn more about Mary and Louis’ work, and the ongoing work of their also-famous children who have continue their parents’ work, but best would likely be the Leakey Foundation itself.

The Valentine's Day/Ferris one was hilarious. Push the button, the rides zip along, the Ferris Wheels stop, and you see who gets matched with who, and the result of their dates. The fox prefers his TV.
