My research, let me show you it

Safety razors have been around for a long, long time. Disposable blades came later, though.

Right on both counts. The fact that the accordion is such a relatively recent invention definitely surprised me. I love juxtaposing completely unrelated innovations: for instance, the sex doll was invented before synthetic silk. History nerds! We have a humor all our own.

I had reasons to know those things. I got very interested in accordions for a while. There's one from Texas with my actual name on it, but it is too expensive to buy. The "Chemnitzer" is sort of a Lawrence Welk accordion, anyway. Oh, and if you like accordions -- well, I don't know, most people do not thank me when I link them to Bayan Mix, (http://www.youtube.com/user/bayanmix) but they are the only reason I can understand why people do real people slash. But I won't, I promise, slash these amazingly -- amazing -- fellows and their very weird star turn with their weird accordions.

As for the other, one of my friends does historical cooking re-enactments, and one of her recent projects was sixteenth century marmalade . . .
