It occurs to me that TV was invented by Philo Farnsworth, who "got" the idea while plowing a field as a boy.

The last few days, the idea of "inspiration" coming from a "Muse" has been bouncing around my head for some reason. What is a Muse? What is inspiration? What is the etymology of those words?

I mention in passing that Farnsworth was a Latter-Day Saint.
