I just learnt that Bakelite was invented by American Chemist Leo Baekeland in 1907.

Bakelite is so cool.

*Belgian chemist.

Fun fact: There are government funded Baekeland PhD grants in Flanders for research in close cooperation with industry partners.

Belgian-American, according to Wikipedia... Thank you for the correction.

Are you Belgian?

I am indeed .

Funnily enough the English Wikipedia starts off mentioning he was a Belgian chemist, while the Dutch one calls him an American chemist of Belgian descent.

Safety first, OC! Though I’m not sure that Bakelite is that much safer than metal.

I wore my wedding ring for my wedding day, then I put it on my key ring where it has been for 16 years because I got married when I was in the marine corps. I was a tank mechanic. They told me not to wear it when I was wrenching because of the possible injuries that can occur.
