on this day in 1876, alexander graham bell was awarded a patent for a revolutionary device called the telephone. thus this day, 133 years ago, marks the 1st time "the bengles suck" ever hit the wires.

Morse Code was invented by Samuel F. B. Morse (1791-1872), a painter and founder of the National Academy of Design. He conceived the basic idea of an electromagnetic telegraph in 1832, and produced the first working telegraph set in 1836. This made transmission possible over any distance. The first Morse Code message, "The Bengals Suck", was sent from Washington to Baltimore.

holy shit! so the bengals suck actually hit the wires long before 1876?!?!?!

of course its not really that impressive considering the native americans have been sending word that the bengals suck to other tribes via smoke signals for over 1000 years.

wasnt it the commanche who made the 1st ever bungles suck smoke transmission?

Some time in the year 519BC an ancient Roman hero was born. His last name was Cincinnatus. He always regreted being born because when he looked up to the stars he could "see into the future". He saw that one day a city with a sucky football team would be named after him and he also regreted ever looking up at the stars. When he looked up he gaged at how much the bungals suck!

You're all familiar with Moses, right? That tablet God gave him? Not the Ten Commandments. Nope. It really said "Thou shalt not worship any other team but the Steelers for the Bengals sucketh."

The Neanderthal (, also with and ), or Neandertal, is an extinct member of the Homo genus that is known from Pleistocene specimens found in Europe and parts of western and central Asia. Neanderthals are either classified as a subspecies of humans (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) or as a separate species (Homo neanderthalensis). The first proto-Neanderthal traits appeared in Europe as early as 600,000 ago.

The rock paintings inside of Altamira Cave are very well done. The neanderthal artist who lived there found great pleasure in creating works of art that are painted on the ceiling of the cave and walls. He was trying to portray a pre-historic cat looking creature sucking through a reed. This tells us that he knew the bengals suck because he illustrated them many times.

nice find MACH. my favorite altimira image is the bengal being slayed by what is evidence of the 1st steel tipped spear. how bout this-

The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in China, built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire from Indian Bengal sucking tiger attacks during the rule of successive dynasties. Several walls, referred to as the Great Wall of China, were built since the 5th century BC. One of the most famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang; little of it remains; it was much farther north than the current wall, which was built during the Ming Dynasty.[2]

The Great Wall stretches over approximately 6,400 km (4,000 miles)[3] from Shanhaiguan in the east to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia, but stretches to over 6,700 km (4,160 miles) in total.[4] At its peak, the Ming Wall was guarded by more than one million men.[5] It has been estimated that somewhere in the range of 2 to 3 million Chinese died as part of the centuries-long project of building the wall, but was not in vain as it prevented the empire from being infiltrated by the bengals suck.[6]

to this day a billion + chinese still know the bengals suck.
