I was listening to NPR this morning, and there was a story about people's names becoming nouns, and how each one of these people has become immortal due to their inventions. I thought it was really interesting, because there are so many every day objects we use that come from someone's last name, but we never think of the person behind it, or do we even know that the name of the object comes from the name of a person. Adam Cole and Robert Krulwich took the topic one step further and made a great song and music video to go along with it...so enjoy! Its fun, and you learn a lot!
(as a side note, I only could get this video to work in Safari, not in Firefox)
