If you drilled a tunnel through the Earth and jumped in, it would take you 42 minutes and 12 seconds to get to the other side.
I would tend to disagree with this. Once you passed the centerline of the tunnel, you would then be falling UP. Gravity would only be pulling to the middle of the tunnel, after passing that point you would be getting pulled back to the middle.
The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.
At the time this was invented, cigarettes had not yet come into existence. Therefore it could not have been called a cigarette lighter.One of the first lighters was invented by the German chemist named Johann Wolfgang Dbereiner in 1823.The earliest forms of cigarettes were similar to their predecessor, the cigar.
Cigarettes appear to have had antecedents in Mexico and Central America
around the 9th century in the form of reeds and smoking tubes.
The Maya, and later the Aztecs, smoked tobacco.
John Walker invented the matches in 1827. He was British.
