The kangaroo is usually held up as the animal that represents the essence of Australia. However in terms of influencing Australian culture, the kangaroo is no match for the fly. Although the fly doesn't appear on any flags, it has shaped everything from the manner an Australian speaks to the style of Australian cuisine. In terms of speech, it has been said that the Australian accent is a product of Australians breathing through their noses for fear that flies might blow into their mouths. Flies have also inspired a new style of body language. Known as the "Australian Salute", Australians have turned flicking away a fly into an art form.

There’s no substitute for hard work. Thomas A. Edison (1847-1931) American inventor, entrepreneur

Thomas Alva Edison was born February 11, 1847 in the port town of Milan, Ohio, which was one of the largest wheat-shipping centers in the world. His parents taught him how to use the resources of the local library, and gradually, Thomas preferred learning through independent self instruction. At an early age, he became attracted to mechanics and chemical experiments. When young Thomas became interested in science, his parents scraped together money to hire a tutor. Thomas began to experiment with chemicals in the basement of his home. Edison’s various electric companies continued to grow until 1889, when they were all brought together to form Edison General Electric, which was controlled by J.P. Morgan . By 1892 the Edison General Electric Company had become the General Electric Corporation. Thomas Edison is most famous as the inventor of the incandescent light bulb, but what many people don't realize is that he also invented the motion picture camera. He desired a device that would "do for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear" — record and reproduce objects in motion. He dubbed it the kinetoscope. One of Edison's first motion pictures -- the first ever copyrighted -- featured one of his employees pretending to sneeze. A good film for motion pictures was not available until 1893, at which time he built a motion picture studio in New Jersey. The studio had a roof that could be opened to let in light, and the entire building was constructed so that it could be moved to stay in line with the sun. The first motion pictures shown in a "movie theater" in America were presented to audiences on April 23, 1896, in New York City. The last experimental work of Edison's life was done at the request of Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone in the late 1920s. They asked Edison to find a substitute source of rubber for use in automobile tires. The natural rubber used for tires up to that time came from the rubber tree, which does not grow in the United States. It was becoming increasingly expensive. Edison tested thousands of different plants to find a suitable alternative, eventually finding a type of Goldenrod weed that could produce enough rubber to be practicable. Edison was still working on this at the time of his death in 1931. http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1608.html
