In History, 05-09

On this day in 1899, John Albert Burr patented the rotary-blade lawn mower, paving the way for motorized manually operated mowers, depriving me of many a Saturday morning's sleep thanks to my neighbor who thought Saturday morning was a good time to mow his lawn! CURSE YOU, JOHN ALBERT BURR!

Daniel, it's that kind of confession that makes you a giant among men in my eyes!
