Happy Birthday Jules Verne!!

Today is Jules Verne's 183rd birthday.  One of my favorite movies as a kid was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.  I used to watch it all the time.  Jules Verne wrote the book.

Check out this site by National Geographic.  It shows you 8 different things that Jules Verne wrote about that at the time were pure science fiction and today they are real.
