You Know Of Him Because Of All The Great Things This Great Man Did...Or Do You?

Of course, you know of this Great Man because of the 5 Great Bullet Points listed below...Or do you?

• He is the man most responsible for creating the Motion Picture Camera.
• He invented the Slide Rule.
• He found a way to Purity England’s Drinking Water.
• He was primarily responsible for the Development of General Anesthesia.
• He contributed no fewer than 300,000 Words to the Encyclopedia Britannica because of the hundreds of Scholarly Papers he wrote on Countless Natural Phenomena. 

Did I just hear you say you didn’t know that one Great Man did these 5 Great Bulleted Things? Well don’t feel badly. You aren’t the only one.

Actually, if you did know that one Great Man did all 5 of these Great Things, you would be one of the very few that knows what you know.

Truth be told this Great Man did a 6^th Great Thing that made him world famous and, whether you know it or not, you know him for his 6^th Great Thing.

The strangest thing about his 6^th Great Thing is that he created it as a form of Therapy which he used to combat the Depression that plagued him throughout his life.

You might say his 6^th Great Thing was a kind of Depressing Hobby. His Hobby resulted in a book that over 2 centuries sold 40 Million Copies and you probably own 1 of that 40 Million Copies.

Now I’ll quit messing with you and I will now tell you his name...

• His name is Peter. (Did I just hear you say my help did not help? I’ll try again.)
• His last mane is Roget. (Did I just hear you say his name sounds familiar but my more help did not help much? I’ll try again.)
• How about Roget’s Thesaurus?

Shazam! That did it! Probably makes you want to go find your copy and write a Term Paper does it not?...Or does it not?

Would I kid u?

• The information for this Not-So-Foolish bit of Foolishness came from a really neat book written by Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs TV Show) entitled The Way I Heard It. 
• Mike’s really neat book is patterned after the Late Great Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story stories.
• It’s an easy and enjoyable read.
• Try it. You just might like it.
