Well it is wiki and should be taken with a grain of alcohol. But it does seem that way.

Pretty racy for CindyBAM! I bet Harry Sachs would have known the answer...

I am guessing he didn't recall the "codpiece" from Shakespeare's day. A bit like the "cup" in sports except that the codpiece was more a decorative fashion statement then protective equipment.

you guys crack me up.

Back in my fanny-packin' days, (yes, I sported a fanny-pack regularly. For many, many years - gotta problem with that? lol - until I just started "needing" to carry around way much more crap than would fit in it), my best friend teased me frequently about my "codpiece." Yet I didn't make the connection either. I was sorta leaning toward "Haddock" - as I think they used that word on some other recent BAM~Q...

(forehead slap) Geez, if I had remembered "codpiece", this would've been an instaget!!

Obviously not every teacher felt that way, right Nancy?

First off, how do you "invent" DST? Second, wasn't the idea first suggested by Benjamin Franklin? (Quick check: Wikipedia says that Franklin didn't actually suggest it; he wrote about Parisians saving money by rising earlier to use available daylight.) Given that I thought it was Franklin's idea I might have gone with "stopwatch".
