The Russians arrived 12 days late to the 1908 Olympics.
This was mainly due to the fact that they were following the wrong calendar. After this incident, the catholic nations mandated the use of the Gregorian Calendar.

In 1884, Paul Gottlieb Nipkow of Germany, developed the first mechanical television which featured an 18-line resolution. His new contraption could relay images via wires by way of a rotating metal disk. However, Nipkow never named his invention as a television, but called it an electric telescope.

In 1927, the first modern electronic television system was invented by 21-year-old, Philo Taylor Fansworth, a young electronic buff. This young genius ideas proved to be lengths ahead of the mechanical television system of the day. Using his theories, Farnsworth was able to use a beam of electrons to capture moving images. His first image transmission was a line, then he famously transmitted a dollar sign via his invention. He did this after a prospective investor asked “When are we going to see some dollars in this thing, Farnsworth?”

On the TV show Breaking Bad, there was a lot of meth...
But all of it was blue rock candy. Which the cast members enjoyed chomping on during breaks.
