While Marco Polo, a Venetian, is generally given credit for discovering noodles in China, recent research suggests that Italian pasta in all its glorious varieties was actually discovered in Rome nearly a century earlier, and quite by accident, by a remarkably unlikely epicurean named Julius Amplonius, with the able assistance of an invading barbarian named Klunk, The Great.The momentous event occurred one afternoon when this portly patrician was dining at a chic restaurant just off the Roman Forum. He was savoring a sip of red wine from Tuscany when a group of alarmed citizens came running by, screeching, "The barbarians are coming! The barbarians are coming!"Amplonius had witnessed their arrival before, and by now he had made peace with the ancient wisdom, "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow you may be out of food and wine." It was by such Stoicism that the wise were able to witness the destruction of the Roman Empire while preserving a somewhat peaceful life.

Charles Fay invented the slot machine in his workshop in San Francisco in 1887 and he named it the "Liberty Bell". The Liberty Bell contained 3 reels with 20 symbols per reel and operated pretty much in the same way as today's slot machines except it was completely mechanical, while today's slot machines are mostly computers with very few moving parts. Fay rented the slot machines to gambling establishments and refused to sell the manufacturing and distribution rights to his slot machines. He had a very lucrative business and charged a 50% commission of all money played. Within a relatively short period of time, Fay's invention was so successful that he began to work overtime in his workshop to meet the demand for his slot machines.Herbert Mills, in 1907, a Chicago manufacturer created a slot machine very similar to Fay's 'Liberty Bell' and named it the 'Operator Bell'. Mills produced and distributed his slot machine at a higher rate than Fay's 'Liberty Bell', and experienced even greater success by 1910. The 'Operator Bell' slot machines were very common in the United States of America. The slot machine reached a peak in popularity in the 1920's and 30's and became...more
