You've probably heard of a few inventors and their bright ideas...Alexander Graham Bell and his telephone.

George Stevenson and his Rocket (which was really a train).

John Logie Baird and his television. But have you heard that...Bell didn't invent the phone, but he did make a weird machine out of hay and a human ear.

Stevenson didn't invent the train, but he did spend a lot of time collecting gas in bladders.

Baird's telly was useless, and so were his thermostatic socks?

Yes, even though they're dead, inventors are still full of surprises.
