The following information comes from my sophomore daughter's World History class: "What year were the following statements made?"

"The average American always walks as if he had a good dinner before him and a police officer behind him" and "American eating habits can best be described as "gobble, gulp and go." My daughter guessed the year would be 2003, however these statements were actually made in 1830 during the Industrial Revolution!

What new word did the Industrial Revolution introduce into our vocabulary? "Punctuality"!
