Got it on the first hit.

Ive been googling for 3 hours. Who is it?

Um… What he is saying is that if you enter the words inventor feeding pigeons new york into the Google search box, the very first item returned is the answer.

I’ll give you a hint - He was a rival of Thomas Edison.

One more- can someone help?

Set in a famous East Coast law school, this movie naturally features anxiety-ridden students making use of the library. The librarian is not really mean, but she is unbending and becomes the reason a student breaks into the building at night in order to have access to information he wants. Name the movie. [bonus for the year]

i got the inventor- i’ve been spelling pigeon wrong in my seach! God bless spell check

can anyone venture a guess at this movie? im running out of time

Don’t remember that scene, but the only movie I can think of set at a famous law school is The Paper Chase

The scene you describe happens in The Paper Chase.

The Paper Chase came out in 1973. What’s my bonus prize?

Thanks Max. I can’t for the life of me remember that scene either. Who breaks in and what is he going to get?

Just curious, why do you need to know the answers to these questions…, and so quickly at that?

trivia contest at work! Thanks for all your help everyone!! Ill let you know if i win.

It’s been a while, but I think Timothy Bottoms’ character James T. Hart breaks into the library to read some papers Professor Kingsfield wrote while he was a student at the school. He’s trying to get inside the old man’s head.

Let us know? I think you should buy a round of drinks at the very least.

Why can’t we win?

Ill let you know how WE did on Monday!! If I win, we all win (but I doubt the prizes are going to be very exciting!! ;-))

Okay, so it’s Tuesday, where’s my prize?
