It might be of interest, that both the Britannica and Encarta websites still
state that Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone despite the US
congress passing a resolution in 2001 acknowleding that it was infact
invented by Antonio Meucci

whereas of course Wikipedia was corrected some time ago.
