new game!
Many people (me included) get a kick out of quizzes like Dead Man on the Sidebar. So I want to host one, too. I've always been delighted when I found out who invented or discovered or developed something that became part of general everyday life. For example, I loved finding this:
Sylvan Goldman invented the first shopping cart in 1936. He owned a chain of Oklahoma City* grocery stores called Standard/Piggly-Wiggly and designed the first shopping cart by adding two wire basket and wheels to a folding chair. He and mechanic Fred Young designed a dedicated shopping cart in 1947 and formed the Folding Carrier Co. which manufactured the carts.
It'll begin Wednesday. Meantime, suggestions welcome although not guaranteed to be taken.

*Oklahoma, again! Sheesh.

Anne let me know what's up with this; a general description, if it's going to be regular etc. and I'll write a post about it, and once you've started I'll add you to the post where I have Moron of the Week and FNFO included with each new "Dead Guy" game.
