The word "tip" dates back to the old London coffeehouses. Conspicuously placed brass boxes etched with the inscription, "To Insure Promptness," encouraged customers to pay for efficient service. The resulting acronym, TIP, has become a byword.

First powered manned flight was by Henri Giffard in a steam powered dirigible.

First powered manned heavier-than air flight was by Clement Ader in a steam-powered monoplance.

Naging myth na lang yang Wright Brothers...

Another trivia...

Adam and Eve wasn't cast out of Eden because they ate the fruit of knowldedge.

They were sent away because God feared that since they already have the knowledge, they might eat from the tree of life and live forever.

Sorry OT

Interesting ... kaya lang bakit myth yung flight ng Wright brothers when it 's still the accepted history? Clement Ader's claim is, after all, still a claim. Most on the other side of the coin are (naturally) French.

The Wright brothers have these on their claim as the first ... The flights were successful. They have photographic proof of it. And the basics of flight control are still the same up to now.

Not trying to put down Ader's claim to fame if he deserves it, but his 1st aircraft did crash, the "success" of the 2nd was only claimed later in life, and his backer (the French War Office) on the 3rd aircraft did withdrew its support after their witness reported that it only made hops. It's also interesting to note that the French kept the events a secret until after the Wrights' claim to fame ... They even celebrated when the Wright brothers shipped their plane to France and made several demo flights. Nothing was heard from Ader during that moment.
