It was James Watt!
He came up with the term 'horsepower' to sell his improved steam engines. Most of his potential customers were using horses in mills and mining operations those days, and he needed to translate the capabilities of his engines to something they would understand and could relate to. So he calculated the power generated by a single horse turning a mill wheel (I'll save you the details), and used that figure as a index for the power of his engines.
Ah hell, I'll give the answer;
It happened back in the old days when the profession of DJ was in a revolution. They just invented the multiple LP player set, on which a DJ could play one record and prepare other records to follow right after, even mixing the ends and beginnings of the records for a continuous music flow.
To do this properly, it was necessary to hold back the next record by hand, to release it when the previous song was about to end.
Doing so, the record made all sorts of funny noises (only notable by the DJ), and it was the Man Grandmaster Flash who saw the coolness in these sounds and applied them as a part of the music.
This created a whole aspect of the turn-table, altering the speed and direction of records for special musical effects.

This has happened to most of us; you're at a 'all you can eat' buffet, chowing down what ever is on the menu and doing fine and wanting more. Until within a mere moment you are suddenly so full that it actually becomes uncomfortable.
Now how did this happen?
Because eating more than you pay for is a sin..
God told me 😛
in other words I have no idea 🙂
Pittman was correct. It takes a few minutes for the stomach to really 'understand' that it can take no more, and to send this info to the brain. Meanwhile a few more bites of food are on their way down. Once they land you al ready have the feeling of being stuffed and those extra bits of food just ad up to that.
Next anyone?
