  1. There were light bulbs before Edison designed his. What Edison did was design the first commercially viable light bulb. Impractical devices are of no use to society. You needed an electrical engineering degree to use the light bulbs that existed before Tom invented the screw base. So they were all rather worthless.

  2. Actually Edison lost the current war. We use Tesla's alternating current system today.

  3. At least black people invented slavery. So they got that going for them.

  4. Yeah go to Africa. Here's one http://dujye7n3e5wjl.cloudfront.net/photographs/1080-tall/time-100-influential-photos-kevin-carter-starving-child-vulture-87.jpg Don't know how much longer he'll be living though. The buzzard ain't giving him good odds.

  5. When I was a little kid I used Aunt Jemima's Pancake mix. When I grew up I realized how easy it was to make pancakes from scratch. I ain't bought a box of her mix since.

  7.  @Mowuniverse  yeah Edison did invent the electric chair. That was his first foray into alternating current. Maybe he fried that elephant first? I forget now. Poor Topsy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEPagrtQe94

  8.  @Odin197188  yes you are. Thank you for being so forthcoming with everyone.

  9.  @metalvideos1961  I think it was actually a Frenchman that invented the light bulb. But there were dozens before Edison. Not one of them a practical product you could sell at a profit to the masses.

  10.  @metalvideos1961  I watched a documentary where a guy had a whole drawer storage unit filled with antique light bulbs that predated Edison. Might have been a museum curator someplace? There were hundreds. But they were all bizarre. Like you had to screw wires to terminals to get them to work. And no one is going to do that in their living room. The Edison screw base light bulb was a brilliant innovation. Except when the glass envelope shatters. Then getting the broken base out of a fixture can be a hassle. I suppose nothing's perfect.

  11. Jussie Smollett coined the phrase, "This is MAGA country!" Which is pretty damned awesome if you ask me.

  12. Hey nose rings are a black invention. So don't be putting that down. OK maybe it was nose bones?

  13.  @valsedonia  when someone has something stuck in their nose I'm not looking at their nose. But that's just me.

  14. She didn't want the traditional bone in the nose.
