Default Blazing saddles = History lesson?

So I'm sitting here watching Blazing saddles, a Mel Brooks classic, and in my ignorance I have to look up the relevance of the Hedly Lamarr jokes. In doing so I wouldn't have learned that without the Famed 40's actress Hedy Lamarr we would be without modern Wi-Fi, cell phone or even our beloved Spectrum radios!

read and learn
