100% of FACT: Van Dyke

Diagnosis Murder and Mary Poppins star Dick Van Dyke is the inventor of the popular system which allows you to play movies on your television with a perfect picture from a small disc no more than a few inches across. Hence the name "DVD player".

Comments:
Co-incidentally, many people mistakenly pronounce Apple's music player "Eye-Pod" instead of "One-Pod". The device was invented by Aubrey "One Pod" Jackson who wanted to create a tiny music player that would fit into the space in his scrotum left by his missing testicle.
