My name is Jack Stanley, I have studied history for many years. This blog is about history in a more raw view, not over done. I often use original materials to bring a historic event or story to life or an interview I may have done with the person mentioned. If you cook a vegetable too long it loses much. The same can be said of many histories. They are the history of the history written before it. Over done history. THIS IS HISTORY IN THE RAW. Comments send to phonograph78@hotmail.com

The Simpson's ..A great historical fact that is seen in the phone style of Mr. Burns
Mr Burns who always answers the phone with Hoy Hoy!
Homer Simpson with Edison who invented what we all use on the phone
Mr Burns in the Simpson's always answers the telephone with the salutation "hoy hoy" ..Which was the greeting that Alexander Graham Bell gave originally to the telephone.
Little do we know that Thomas A. Edison came up with the salutation "hello"...Which is used all over the world today. It shows how old Burns is. He learned how to use the phone from Bell!
So Homer Simpson who re-invents the six legged chair and the electric hammer...also uses along with the rest of the world Edison's other invention
""hello""
....Amazing huh?
