Though I had first conceived of my revolutionary model decades earlier, I delayed publication because it would have caused me problems with the Church, getting me branded as a heretic, and so my book did not see print until he was on my deathbed.
8. What company produces the "Double-Bubble" brand of bubble gum ?
