superman --> Philipp Reis

Sadly died too early 150 years ago aged 40. He invented an early telephon and created its name. Died before he could do refinements Bell knew his work

Much like the first motorized flight in 1901 by Weißkopf. If money (Wright company) is involved history is rewritten.

futurist and prolific genius -> Artur Fischer

Probably the inventor who had the most impact on my life. Best known the wall plug (near weekly use), metal implants after bone fractures (being a goalie was dangerous), synchronized flash for cameras (all these family photos), and .... most important for me fischertechnik which allowed kids to build nice technical stuff, way better than LEGO.

a plotter / scanner I had it on an Applie IIGS to plot math formulas for school

Price Pfister > Hansgrohe

One of their products is Bora. It is a kitchen air filter build into the oven. Advantage is that there is nothing above the pots or your head. Also a german professional cycling team is named after it.

Vital -> urgent

xenophobia -> feather duster

There was a time when xenos meant not only stranger or enemy but also guest. So Xenophobia could be the fear that guests (parents in law) could consider yout house dirty. So befor they visit you do a total cleaning of the house. Luckily our house has a sign at the entrance:

Our home is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy!
