- A Safety Tip: A 36-year-old female had an accident several weeks
ago and totaled her car. A resident of Kilgore, Texas, she was
traveling between Gladewater and Kilgore. It was raining, though not excessive,
when her car suddenly began to hydroplane and literally flew through
the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden
occurrence. When she explained to the highway patrolman what had
happened he told her something that every driver should know - NEVER
DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON. She had thought she was
being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe,
consistent speed in the rain. But the highway patrolman told her that
if the cruise control is on and your car begins to hydroplane - when
your tires lose contact with the pavement - your car will accelerate to
a higher rate of speed and you take off like an airplane. She told the
patrolman that was exactly what had occurred. We all know you have
little or no control over a car when it begins to hydroplane. You are
at the mercy of the Good Lord. The highway patrol estimated her car was
actually travelling through the air at 10 to 15 miles per hour faster
than the speed set on the cruise control.

Another useless fact!
In the early 1800s, a French silk weaver called Joseph-Marie Jacquard invented a way of automatically controlling the warp and weft threads on a silk loom by recording patterns of holes in a string of cards.

And Another....
In 1843, a mathematician, Ada Byron, published the first computer programs. She based them on Jacquard's punch-card idea. Her programs were for the first general-purpose mechanical digital computer, that was just invented by Charles Babbage.
