My Grandpa's Old Intuition


My grandpa always wanted to be an inventor. Even though he didn't go to college, he claims that he reads a lot and is naturally smart enough that he could get by with out it. When he heard about the RAZOR phone he was disappointed to find out someone invented it before him. Little did he know.

    1. Cognition would be much better word choice...humans other than Teri Schiavo would know this.
