...Guests on the show received an exclusive Olympic pin - depicting a seagull skewered by a ski pole - and a T-shirt supporting the Smiggin Holes bid. So far, Tara Lipinski, Katarina Witt, Tristan Gale, Johann Koss, Alexei Yagudin, Foo Fighters lead singer Dave Grohl and Miss Utah, Jaclyn Hunt, have all been very supportive...

A few years later the German Johann Philipp Reis made a device he dubbed a telephone, over which he transmitted music. Alexander Graham Bell knew of Reis' experiments, and by 1876 had created the modern phone. A few hours after Bell filed his patent papers, Elisha Gray submitted an application for his own phone. Since Bell was first to apply, he reaped the glory...
