You're not Danny Dyer by any chance *gulps* - if not he's your cousin too ;)

Always surprises me Pavarotti wasn't on the list. Someone that famous with Pancreatic Cancer is almost certainly a shoe in these days.

 

This is where someone names someone nowhere near as famous as Pavarotti as a retort.

On this day September 8th in 1970 American Physicist and inventor of the microwave oven Percy Spencer died in Massachusetts aged 76.

 

Someone who indeed did revolutionise and change many lives especially in the west! 

 

Born in 1894 he was a respected expert in radar tub design by 1939. He worked for raytheon and helped them win a contract with the US government to research, design and create  combat radar equipment during World War two. Indeed the project was the second biggest priority of the US military after the Manhattan project. 

 

 

His patent for a microwave oven was filed on October 8th 1945.microwave.jpg

I've probably mentioned it before but I don't care but two of the more unusual deaths in Britain occurred on this date in 1978, Janet Parker from a smallpox outbreak and Georgi Markov assassinated by an umbrella.
