Get the flain mug.Inventor of the television. Vladimir Zworykin copied his idea for RCA. He helped RCA keep all possible profits out of Farnsworth's hands. At age 14, young Philo had his working idea all set. He was a farmboy genius, and it was cornfields with different-colored corn that inspired him to use pixels the way he did. At 21, Farnsworth had his first working model of a television. Farnsworth also designed the Farnsworth-Hirsch Fusor, which was the first fusor to demonstrate actual nuclear fusion.
Philo T. Farnsworth invented the television designed the first working Fusor, but he is not famous. His wife, Elma, always fought for his place in history. She died in 2006.

Get the andrew farnum mug.(v)The act of refusing to take a shit over an extended period of time, due to constapation, medical reasons, or lack of prime dumping conditions.
The origin of this word comes from accounts of Mr. Henry Flanagan's pulling of what was known as "The Nine day no Shit". Flanagan accomplished this feat in the summer of 1910 after experiencing sub-stadard bathrooms, and a prolonged canoe trip excusion on open water in the South Puget Sound. It is disputed by many leading historians whether this event actually occured. Yet many witness accounts give substantial proof that this really happened.
Here is Dr. Sean Simonsen's Account
"August 5th 1910, Day 7 on the expedition, it is very hot and sunny here in the south puget sound. The sailors are getting wary and are bitchin' about how they have been paddling for so long and its not fair that I haven't paddled once over this excursion. Henry has told me that he hasn't taken a shit over these 7 days... HOLY FUCK! HE HASNT TAKEN A SHIT IN SEVEN DAYS!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!"
Although the this occurance is not yet validated, the phrase still survives.
and... trust me, It actually happened.

Get the To Pull a Flanagan mug.Fictitious sport invented by New Zealand/Aussie genius John Clarke, in his persona of NZ sheep farmer Fred Dagg.
To quote his website "In essence, Farnarkeling is engaged in by two teams whose purpose is to arkle, and to prevent the other team from arkeling, using a flukem to propel a gonad through sets of posts situated at random around the periphery of a grommet. Arkeling is not permissible, however, from any position adjacent to the phlange (or leiderkrantz) or from within 15 yards of the wiffenwacker at the point where the shifting tube abuts the centre-line on either side of the 34 metre mark, measured from the valve at the back of the defending side's transom-housing."
