Not sure about that one…

Okay looked it up; was looking for something more than an aside by Cynthia Ozick.

Quote

“related at some (not very great) distance” through Benjamin’s maternal grandmother, Brunella Benjamin (née Mayer, 1827-1919). Benjamin retold his grandmother’s stories of Heine rocking her as a little girl upon “his knees” (Brodersen 15).

The Crock-Pot was invented by an American Jew of Lithuanian heritage to help his relatives with their Shabbat cooking.

In Kansas City, if I'm not mistaken.

 

EDITED: Not invented here. Invented in Chicago, but launched in KC.

And, additionally, I went in to an arbitrary thread on one of the links then pressed the Members button and it opened up to a full list of the members that were current at that time.  In fact, it looks like it may well be possible to take any random link and open up any part of the site from that time.

(I will disregard voyager's post)
