Never mind.
Have you ever ride a giant wheel, the Singapore Flyer, the Eye of Malaysia, the Ferris Wheel? Yeah, that's the wheel we are talking about here. Click on Google front/landing page today and you'll be told that today is the birthday of George Ferris, the creator of the Ferris Wheel.
Ferris was born on February 14, 1859 which happens to be the world famous Valentine's Day. So, let's dedicate a little bit of blog space to him this day.
He is most famous for creating the original Ferris Wheel for the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition (wikipedia).
