Happy (belated) Birthday, Joseph Priestley!
Yesterday was Joseph Priestley's birthday. He apparently invented air, and his lab was burned down because of his "radical Unitarian views".

Why is there air? Bill Cosby can thank Joseph Priestley...to blow up basketballs.
At least JP wasn't a 'breatharian,' and lived to tell the tale by emigrating to the US or whatever we were called in those days...
