"Sir Joseph Wilson Swan (October 31, 1828 – May 27, 1914) was an English physicist and chemist, most famous for the invention of the incandescent light bulb for which he received the first patent in 1878. His house was the first in the world to be lit by a lightbulb." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Swan May 31 09, 7:59 PM

McGruff has just been made one of the administrators of Funtrivia - for those of you who didn't know already.

Can any of the Poms help an Aussie ?
