Hey Andy, it's sort of an unofficial polite gesture to answer the first question, and then, if you get it right, then you may post your question.

Mr Steam, with the help of some Stevenson guy. (Although when I tried to Wikipedia his first name, there was no sign of him, and all there was were Hero and Leibniz)

But 1_eye said that it wasn't Hero, and yet all the search results confirm that a certain Heron of Alexandria was the first recorded inventor of the steam engine...? At least on my computer.

Yes your right. I didn't say you was wrong cloone. Just wanted a definite answer. It was Heron (very rarely called Hero) from Alexandria, was around AD 62, and invented the steam engine 1,600 years beofre Newcomen's engine of 1711. Heron also invented the vending machine, for four drachmas you got a shot of holy water - and a portable device to ensure that no one else could drink the wine you bought along to a bottle party!

Got it. And the answer ain't Colossians, despite what Google says:
"Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Colosse: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.
We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you"
- Colossians 1:1-3
