First - I'm glad to see that you recognize that I'm an Engineer.  
Heaven help it if someone thought I was a program manager!   I managed 
to be an Engineer all my career, passing up "promotions" to program 
manager slots.

Second - Yes I did know about the apple battery.  That's why I 
mentioned a rotten peach.

  Third - Someone else invented rocks.  It might have been Ed Hartley.  
I was on the dirt design team.
