Inventions

John S. Thurman invented the gasoline powered vacuum cleaner (which he called the "pneumatic carpet renovator") in 1899. His vacuum was patented on Oct. 3, 1899 (patent #634,042 how did I find that?). It may have been the first motorized vacuum cleaner. Thurman had a run a horse drawn, door-to-door carpet vacuuming service in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, charging $4 per visit (which was a large amount of dough at the time)."

The South Beach Diet is a one-size-fits-all diet that completely ignores the fact that we have different genetic requirements for optimal health ... one-size-fits-all diets never work for all, or even close to all. Because of their biochemistry, some people actually need a high carb diet (with limited or no grains), while others require the low-carb, high-protein diet that Dr. Atkinson advocates.

The name Cato seems to be based on Kato, the partner of the Green Hornet. He was played by Burt Kwouk. Kwouk was also considered for a part in the 2006 revival, but was overlooked in favour of Jackie Chan. Ultimately the character was scrapped completely when French actor Jean Reno took on the role of Clouseau's partner. In the new film, it is Clouseau who attacks Reno's character, and who always loses the fight."
