Today (Thurs, Jan 19) is the birthday of James Watt. You may have 
heard of him. He quantified the watt as an electrical measurement, the 
horsepower as a mechanical measurement, and discovered that water is 
not an element. He also tinkered with steam engines.

The Scotsman has a nice profile of his life and work here:
