After the near seismic shift that resulted in a TDiH poem being produced on Wednesday, we decided to stick with it, because hey, updating on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday seems to make a little more sense than Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.

Or steal from Mr. Gray?

Event: Alexander Graham Bell receives a patent for the telephone
Year: 1876
