The Nile River. The Nile is the longest river in the world, stretching north for approximately 4,000 miles from East Africa to the Mediterranean.

When did color tv's become common in the average household? The KGB Agent answer: While the first color television was introduced in the US in 1953, it wasn't until the late 1960s and early '70s that color televisions became commonplace. Color sets did not outsell black-and-white sets until 1972. A German patent dating to 1904 contained the first proposal for a color television system, however, it failed, along with a second attempt in 1925.

According to NBC, there were only 2,860,000 color households in the United States as of January 1st, 1965 (though that was up from 1,620,000 on January 1st, 1964) [ 25 ]. By July 1st, the number stood at 3,600,000 and on October 1st it was at 4,450,000 color sets [ 26 ], [ 27 ].
