Any thing that involves time travel makes for an interesting story.

And of course, Philo Farnsworth invented television, and a nuclear fusion device. (Thanks, Wikipedia!) (Did anyone catch the name of the other "famous" Farnsworth?)
(Yes, I respond to my own posts.) This was Dean Farnsworth, who doesn't have an article at Wikipedia (even though the Farnsworth Lantern Test does). I've also been reading a Tim Leary biography, and ran across another Farnsworth: Dana L. Farnsworth was the director of Health Services at Harvard University, while Leary was doing his mushroom experiments. Farnsworth voiced the opinion that psychedelics like mescaline could be dangerous, and he eventually arranged it so that any psychedelics could only be given to him, not any of the other faculty. David Farnsworth was a real counterfeiter, btw. Wikipedia also lists the following Farnsworths: - Bill Farnsworth, Australian rugby league footballer (brother of Viv)
- Charles S. Farnsworth, American general in World War I, Chief of Infantry
- E. Allan Farnsworth, American legal scholar
- Elizabeth Farnsworth, correspondent and former anchor at the PBS NewsHour
- Elon Farnsworth Michigan Attorney General
- Elon J. Farnsworth, United States (Union) cavalry commander in the American Civil War
- John Semer Farnsworth, A US Navy Officer convicted of spying for Japan from 1932–1934
- Kyle Farnsworth, an American baseball player for the Tampa Bay Rays
- Richard Farnsworth, American actor
- Viv Farnsworth, Australian rugby league footballer (brother of Bill)
