I believe the first time the world saw a famous black box was December
26, 1908. It was in Sydney, but Burns was Canadian and Johnson was

You seem to have confused "famous 'black box'" with "'famous Black' box."

One's a noun, the other's a verb.

Is this an ironic post, or is it just proving the adage about Grammar Nazis?

Adjectivally yours...
