Care to try this one? What's the origin of the term "bridge" for a
vessel's command center...who invented it, and why?

YOU invented it, your sole purpose being to win worms and beer.

The term "bridge" has been around for a bit over 100 years. I'm no
spring chicken any more, but I'm not quite THAT old!

Let's give this one a little time...someone will come up with it, I think.
