OK. See #15

I read that years ago. Found this on the interwebs:

1843
“The first recognizable version of what we consider the telephone fax was invented in 1964 by the Xerox company, but the technology that led to that advancement was created much earlier. In fact, it was Alexander Baine in 1843 who invented the electric printing telegraph.”

Fact checking jokes can extend the humor of good jokes and prevent bad jokes from spreading false concepts. I want to conserve what value remains in old ideas. I’d also point out in this case the problem was not with the old (first faxes 1843) fax tech, but rather the new PCR tech, which the feds have said they’ll shut down in a couple months but are still using to crank out false positives.
