The Pittsburgh Steelers became the first NFL team to win six Super Bowls. I know, a bit hasty. I wish Kurt Warner played backup for them. Then my loyalties wouldn't be divided with the underdog sympathy. Feb. 2009. The Pittsburgh Steelers became the first NFL team to win six Super Bowls. I know, a bit hasty.

The light looked like the railway signals of the day, and had red and green gas lamps for use at night. The gas lantern was turned with a lever at its base so that the appropriate light faced traffic. The down side to these lights? Manual operation, and potential of explosion, which it did, in 1869, injuring the pliceman who was operating it. Electric traffic lights were a US invention, with multiple changtes occuring from 1912 on. (Thanks Wikipedia!)
