CANADIAN TV SHOWS BUZZARD COULEE METEOR FOOTAGE
November 22, 2008 - Canada
Footage of the large meteor that streaked across western Canada is broadcast on Canadian television. The meteor was seen on November 20th, and broadcast on 22nd. The video was filmed from a local police car, and showed a small light turning into a massive fireball as it fell from the sky and appeared to hit the Earth. Over the next seven days more than one thousand meteorite fragments were collected from the 10-tonne fireball, among them are two 13 kg fragments, scientists named the meteor Buzzard Coulee after the oldest-named geographic feature in the fall area.
COMPUTER PUMP
November 22, 1932 - U.S.A.
The first U.S. patent for a computer pump was issued to the inventors, Robert J. Jauch, Ivan R. Farnham and Ross H. Arnold for their "Liquid Dispensing Apparatus" (No. 1,888,533). Their motorized pump both metered and displayed the exact gallons of gasoline or other liquid dispensed, and also accurately computed and showed the price in dollars and cents while delivery was made. The internal totalizer could be easily reset for any new price per gallon. It solved the problems of inaccurate delivery of volume from a visible type dispenser, and its necessary ready-reckoning card with quantity and cost tables, which needed a new card when prices changed. The Wayne Co., Fort Wayne, Indiana, marketed it from 1 Nov 1931.

More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)
