Eureka!

On this day in 1880 Thomas Alva Edison receives a patent (#223898) for his "electric lamp for giving light by incandescence." And today in 1948 the first tape recorder is sold. Two inventions that changed the world.

Commemorate these historical moments with this Future Inventor Kids T-Shirt — more products on this theme here — a discovery from the sharply designed (future) Occupations area of CafePress.com's The Odd Matter Gift Shop, whose goods were featured in the November 27th edition.
