Alexander Graham Bell Day

March 7th, 2012

On this day in 1876, Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone. His marvelous invention would come to revolutionize the communication industry and forever spare us from certain awkward face-to-face conversations. Originally, Bell suggested we all say 'ahoy' when answering the phone, but then Thomas Edison totally ruined everything by changing it to 'hello.' So today in honor of Bell, when you pick up the phone let out a hearty 'ahoy!'
