-- a gift with two big ironies
Flint, Michigan has a serious water lead problem.
The deaf school is located in Flint. The deaf girls'
basketball team had a game scheduled with
Owendale-Gagetown HS. The hearing girls donated
250 cases of water to help the deaf school.
First irony was that the lead problem at the
school was already fixed. Second irony was that
the basketball game was cancelled due to lack of
players on the deaf team. The water was still
delivered anyway! A picture is at:

-- a surprise hearing aid discovery
The reflecting pond on the campus of Simon Fraser
University in British Columbia was emptied in 2008
to clean out stuff. The clearning crew discovered
a hearing aid! Did a student throw it away?
-- an accidental deaf invention
Rubber was invented by an accident in the kitchen.
What about Deaf Inventions? Mateuz Mach, 18 years
old and not deaf, lives in Poland. He invented
an app for rap musicians to communicate with
their hand waves (hearing hand waves, not
deaf hand waves). Someone told him - why not
use the app for deaf sign language. Despite
knowing nothing about the deaf, he was able
to invent this sign language app!
