Thanks, S.I. Russel!
Jan. 11th, 2007 10:31 amMy new hero is S.I. Russel, the inventor of the heating pad. I don't think I'd make it through work today without him. So thanks, S.I.!
"An American, S. I. Russel, invented the electric heating pad in 1912 as a medical aid for tubercular patients sleeping outdoors: it was a small square of fabric with electrically heated tapes running through it."
