[Axel] Aw, bakelite, the big bang theory by Msgr LeMaître, the saxophone by
Adolphe Sax, asphalt roads by Edward de Smedt, Mercator maps for navigation,
Solvay process fo making sodium bicarbonate, fist anatomy book by Vesalius,
the body mass index by Quetelet, Spark-ignited combustion for coal gas
engines by Jean Joseph Etienne Lenoir, in 1899 a Belgian (Camille Jenatzy)
built electric racing car called "La Jamais Contente" set a world record for
land speed, ......

We try to stay modest so we forfeit a few opportunities to remind the world
how good we are...  (LOL, no... make that ROFLMAO)
