So today there is no new umbrella news, so it is time to hit the archives. What better way to do so than Google random combinations. Today, for me, that was ["Woody Allen" umbrella]. Looks like I can build several days on this one. For a start, however, let me go with an Andy Rooney commentary from last summer about that minor invention.
Interestingly, in addition to his Woody Allen citing/sighting, he brings up the Queen, too: "No one is so important that they don't get wet when it rains. Everyone resorts to an umbrella: George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Woody Allen, Michael Jackson, or even the Rev. Al Sharpton gets wet when it rains."
I also appreciate his mourning about the inventor: "...it seems wrong that we don't know the name of the person who came up with the idea for the umbrella."
