Neither. - _Howard wrote:

Just that I'm stupid. Sorry, it should've been "Ecstasy." |

| I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean that Ecstacy is the name of something in particular and the other two are general references to the technology they define? |

| Hedy Lamarr starred in a movie called Ecstasy. Harvey Korman's character in Blazing Saddles was Hedley Lamarr.
Am I wasting my time pursuing this theme? |

| If you're looking for George Antheil as an answer, I can't find any connection of him to Ecstasy. |

| How many fucking links do I have to go through? Hedy Lamarr certainly fills the requirements of the question.

| I didn't know there was going to be a quiz.
I'm sticking with my answer of Hedy Lamarr. It satisfies the requirements of your question. If you are looking for something else that also satisfies those requirements, then you need to provide something that differentiates from the answer I gave.

| The connection there is from both Hedy Lamarr and George Antheil.
But you already know that.

| I'd really like the answer to that, CoCo. I have been just hitting dead ends.
I hate riddles, and this thread wasn't meant for riddles, but since we're here:
What happens when you play a country song backwards?
