Fun fact

On 14 February 1876, Alexander Graham Bell filed a patent for a revolutionary invention making it possible to transmit voices over great distances: the telephone. But he wasn’t alone. On exactly the same day, Elisha Gray filed a patent for the very same device! But the history books only seem to remember the name Alexander Graham Bell. Hard luck, Elisha.
