It can be argued that Turing was first, as he theorized it in a paper much earlier, but a valid counter-argument was that his paper about a theorized computer referred to a person.
The silver mines discovered in the Americas in the 1500s, especially the mine of Potosi, supplied Europe, through the following centuries, with over 11x its then current supply of silver.

The King's Chamber in the great pyramid maintains a temperature of 68° F.

I wonder if that's by accident or design

I really don't think we'll ever know. There are theories from the "Aliens!" set, but barring time travel...

Scottish (or Italian according to "some" (Italians, mostly)), German, and British, if I'm not mistaken.

True. Not sure which was actually built first.

I wouldnt say having a theory counts as being the inventor. In my eyes you have to put the theory into practise and show that it works.
Having the theory and then putting the theory into practise and getting that to work stable requires a whole lot more than just the theory

The Z1 was build in 1937 and was the first programable computer in binary

I really like y'all, and we'll get through this thing eventually. Exercise is the best and most accessible antidepressant for most humans.

The moon is not round/spherical. It's actually got some longer sides, making it sort of lemon shaped.

This is basically true for every celestial body, not just the moon.
