The 173 Year OId Code

let's face it, this blog is a great way to communicate to the masses. you can read it on your smartphone, tablet, or desktop. but how did people send messages to each other electronically before the internet or phones? morse code was patented 173 years ago today by samuel f.b. morse. the code is basically a series of dashes and dots for each letter and number. what was the first message sent by the man who patented it?

a) can you hear me now?
b) take me to your leader
c) what hath God wrought?

you'll get double punches if you know the answer today! the answer to monday's trivia is: dancing goats.
