11 February 1847
Thomas Edison is born.
Facts about Thomas Alva Edison:
1093 patents registered.
Almost deaf.
First invention: an electric vote-recording machine rejected by the Massachusetts legislature, who feared it would make votes more difficult to rig. How little they knew!
Three most important inventions: the phonograph, the incandescent light bulb, the "kinetiscope."
Died at age 83 on the anniversary of the invention of the light bulb.
Pretty interesting guy. Hard worker. That's why I could never be Edison. I'm too stinkin' lazy.
