They got it wrong! The telephone was invented in AFTER (1876) the Automobile (1875) by George A. Long.
From Answers.com:
The first, American automobile was invented in Hinsdale, New Hampshire, USA, by George A. Long. This 1875 vehicle is only attested by local newspaper accounts and his, testimony. However, Long was awarded U.S.P.O. patent number: 281,091 on May 10, 1883 (pre-dating Benz) for his second automobile. Long’s second and patented version, is residing in the Smithsonian’s collection as not only the oldest automobile (Steam Road Vehicle), but the oldest, self-propelled vehicle of any type.

And I saw that one coming, too…
Flintstones… Meet the Flintstones….
In one sense, the entire BC strip could be said to infringe on the Flintstones…
OTOH, Dinos, now…

Not only are there similarities between “The Flintstones” and “The Honeymooners”, but also “I Love Lucy”.
