That's Hedley.....No, We Really Mean Hedy

We here at the Hair Chest Labs are always proud to celebrate inventors.  Take for instance Hedy Lamarr, the actress, most famous to comedy lovers for having her name spoofed in Blazing Saddles.  As a side project, she co-invented Code Division Multiple Access, giving birth to many Frequency Hopping technologies still in use in communications to this day, including Military Radio, Wi-Fi networks and Cell Phones.  We like to think of her as an original mad scientist with a famous secret identity.  Please enjoy:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr
