^ I see that as a problem. Yts taking our inventions and stealing the knowledge and wealth while we get no credit from our work. These post have enlighten me to our grateness that I never would have known. I appreciate it RWS and I forgive you for the shady April's fools joke and decided to come back after the gone. LOLO

Yes, until I see where someone else did it first, this man invented the SAFE. Call it what it is, dammit!

i honest to goodness thought this was henry "box" brown & was going to light his behind up. but thankfully this is a different man.

i guess both "henry" and the surname "brown" are such common names that there were likely many formerly enslaved persoons w/the same name.
