Wrong!
A man named John Harrington invented the flushing toilet in 1596. But it was very expensive and impractical so it didn't gain popularity until the 20th century, when John Crapper introduced it to the common folk, and raised it's popularity. He didn't invent it, just raised it's popularity.Wrong!
He didn't, it was named after him, tough. The art of putting food between two other pieces of food, was created ling before the Earl was even born, by the natives, and farmers in the West, that didn't like wasting leftovers. The Earl had a liking for salted beef on bread, according to some writings, so his friends named it after him as a joke. -

Go to the keyboard on a computer or laptop. You'll notice there's a little bump on the 'J' key and the 'H' key. Those bumps ae from aligning the hands to either side of the keyboard, to make typing easier.
