Life isn't clear cut; there are always gray areas.
On this day, 09 Feb....
1895 - Volleyball invented by W G Morgan in Massachusetts.(The game was originally called "Mintonette". Morgan met James Naismith, inventor of basketball, while he was studying at Springfield College, Massachusetts in 1892. Like Naismith, Morgan pursued a career in Physical Education at the YMCA. Influenced by Naismith and basketball, in 1895, Morgan invented "Mintonette" a less vigorous team sport more suitable for older members of the YMCA but one that still required athletic skill).
1902 - Siamese twins separated. Doctor Eugène-Louis Doyen of Paris, performed a successful operation on Siamese twins, though one died by the next year. Dr. Doyen was among the first to document medical surgeries on film. Previously he had made a five-minute movie (1898) showing the separation of the Siamese twins Radika and Dodika, who were originally brought to Paris as freaks.
