    Plant breeder Luther Burbank (1849-1926), USA, has developed over 800 new strains of plants. One of his greatest inventions was the Idaho potato, which he developed in 1871. This blight-resistant potato helped Ireland recover from its devastating potato famine of 1840-60.

    According to an insurance policy I received in the mail, no benefits are payable for injuries received while in Montana, voluntarily, or injuries resulting from an insured person being(in Montana,voluntarily ) intoxicated......
    I like Montana, don't like insurance companies.....So what are they saying?
