**** You Thomas Edison, Tesla was the real Genius
I just finished watching "The Prestige" and it reignited my disdain for Thomas Edison.
Sure, he gave us the lightbulb, but Tesla gave us Alternate Current[AC] Tesla also set up a system that gave us all free electricity, but it was thwarted and his funds were dried up by JP Morgan, and his lab destroyed... can't be giving away shit for free. Edison was an insecure prick and most people don't realize this, because the history books were written by those who he was in favor with. Tesla got hosed. http://www.viewzone.com/tesla.html |

Edison's good, Tesla's better, but my main man -- Leonardo da Vinci -- is the BEST!!

Thomas Edison invented the mall t-shirt kiosk.

DaVinci wrote with both hands simultaneously on separate sheets of paper in a mirror script. That alone is pure genius.

Tesla - Edison's Medicine Lyrics
You're guilty of crime in the first degree, Second and third as well. My jury finds you'll be serving your time When you go straight to hell. 'Cause he was Lord of the Lightning, Though "socially fright'ning", But never out to sell. Their nickels and pence Meant more than did sense, And not the sensible thing. Nor did the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. All along, world was wrong. You was right. All that he saw, all he conceived, They just could not believe. Steinmetz and Twain were friends that remained, Along with number three. He was electromagnetic, completely kinetic, "New Wizard of the West." But they swindled and whined that he wasn't our kind, And said Edison knew best. He was the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. Said you was outta your mind! You took a shot and it did you in. Edison's medicine. You played your cards, but you couldn't win. Edison's medicine. I spent twelve years of hard time, More like the best years of my life. Never heard or read a single word About "the man" and his "wicked mind." They'll sell you on Marconi. Familiar, but a phony. Story goes they sold their souls And swore that you'd never know... About the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. Swore you was outta your mind! You took a shot and it did you in. Edison's medicine. You played your cards, but you couldn't win. Edison's medicine. |

Edison must have had a better fame focus than Tesla.
