Did an apple really fall on the head of someone named Isaac Newton? Yes indeedy, resulting in the discovery of gravity. That's amazing! No, what's really amazing is he was sitting under a pear tree at the time.
Newton? Newton? Isaac Newton, you say? Oh, yes. Remember him now. Inventor of the cat door. That’s the fellow. Did some lesser work on gravity and such, as I recall.

Apples always seem to get all the publicity…from Eve, to Newton, to Johnny Appleseed! Go figure!

@ AshburnStadium – I thought I was the only one that knew that old song. I remember hearing it on old B&W movies when I was a kid.
