Something to celebrate today

On this date in 1933, Dewitt Simpson was all excited about his patent application for a pointed-end can opener that we would all come to know and love as the "Church Key." Truly, this is one of the world's greatest inventions, for it also pries open the hinge of a reluctant oyster.

Thanks, Dewey. This one's for you!
