Umm, ackshually, he was a patent thief and a RACIST.

Shut the fuck up. I don't fucking care. If you were taking a test and the question was "Who invented the light bulb?" the correct answer would be "Thomas Edison".

Reddity queers like to polish Nikola Tesla's balls but Tesla was a weird bird-fucking creep who electrocuted his own dick for fun. Like if he spoke to your kid you'd tell him to fucking stop.

I hate inventors and inventions.

His birthplace is near me, what a shitty tourist stop it is... That's the first thing they tell you too, "Edison didn't actually invent the lightbulb!"


I wish i'd stolen one of the wax cylinder tubes they had out, as repayment for my wasted time.
"Edison didn't actually invent the lightbulb!"

"THEN WHY THE FUCK AM I HERE??"

We all know the lightbulb and electricity were invented by Dr Jennifer Bell in Paris, Ontario in 1983.
I did a speech on Alexander Graham Bell in public school once and I'm pretty sure it all came down to him also being a thief and an all around unpleasant guy. I think his mother or his wife was also deaf.

Brantford takes so much pride in him being "from there" he was there for like a few months. Brantford didn't make the telephone. Despite what they insist at every opportunity.
