No wonder he’s so successful and so filthy stinkin’ rich . . . he’s a freakin’ genius!

While people throughout the world have argued about the efficacy of time travel since H.G. Wells wrote The Time Machine, Jeff Bezos — the founder and head honcho of Amazon — has proven it’s already happened. And I have evidence.

While scanning through Amazon’s endless list of cookbooks, I happened upon one produced by the ever-reliable people at Good Housekeeping.

I’ve followed their recipes for more years than I care to admit, and thought this might be a useful addition to my collection; but I wondered — since GH has been around for so long — how recently it was published, and whether it took into account the features of the newer models of microwaves, updated microwavable containers, etc.

So I took the logical next step, and checked the publication date. And to my total amazement, I found that someone at GH actually had a microwave oven all the way back in 1899 — about the time electricity became available for home use — and had published a book of recipes for it. And Bezos found out about it, before Elon Musk could beat him to it.

Way to go, Jeff!

Offhand, I’d say Amazon’s IT department needs a good proofreader. But thanks for the laugh . . . I can always use one of those.

Just sayin’ . . .

P.S. I decided to pass on the cookbook for now; I’ll wait for an updated edition.
