   @Joan Alos

   Invented… or stole?
   Apparently, he was a genius at stealing other people’s inventions.

   @celecca

   coiled flourescent lights
   The draw back to them is you can’t get an idea in the cold weather.

    @Tigger:
    http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla is a nice start. Edison was a good business man, but not a very nice one. He has ripped off many people in his lifetime. Here’s another nice example:

    For more information pertaining to the specific subject of the lightbulb. see
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb
    where it says:
    In addressing the question of who invented the incandescent lamp, historians Robert Friedel and Paul Israel³ list 22 inventors of incandescent lamps prior to Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison.

    Next time, try doing some research yourself before asking us to come up with links for you.
