Did he not invent the bicycle?

At last a sensible reply. Yes he was a very clever man, after he invented the potato and filter cigarettes he invented the bicycle. This is why Queen Victoria knighted him.

Come on Keith promise me you will buck up otherwise you will have to go to the back of the class again.

There is an old priory near Edinburgh which appears in a movie one in a series of films , which historically was used by remnants of the knights Templar prior to Sir Walter Raleigh , the architecture and stone carvings depict a lot of tobacco leaves showing that tobacco was known about long before Sir Walter Raleigh. I checked this out myself last time over there. History is not always reported correctly. JS

#43... Always thought that was a bloke called Penny Farthing. Who was reputed to be a cross dresser. JS

Rosslyn Chapel, I think is what you are referring to John; also there are depictions of corn (maize) which were supposedly unknown then also. Reputedly, the Holy Grail is hidden there along with Templar treasure.

Thanks Tony is terrible when can’t remember names , the bloke who wrote those books did more for masonry than he will ever realize , recruiting went up substantially. The guide who took us round naming different points of interest , after the tour had finished Myself and this other bloke got him to one side and corrected him about some of the info. He was putting out , and he confessed to not really knowing as was not a mason.the bloke who was correcting him also I still have his business card and was an American professor who lived in Hong Kong. Bet he doesn’t live there now. JS

Food. From Sky News, Singapore has grown chicken from cells in a lab and the product will be on sale soon.
No chicken was used in the manufacture of the product.
