Thomas Midgely - the man who invented leaded gas. Thought this was interesting and good for a laugh or two....a BBC show called QI.

Which also makes me think - has anyone tried iodine as a lead replacement?

I love QI! Favorite moment I've seen so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZfr2nZmoJc

It's hilarious...and an interesting little factoid too!
