Thomas Edison

Hold up, wait a minute! Are you telling me that Thomas Edison, the father of electricity and the inventor of the light bulb, was actually a dirty little patent thief? Well, color me shocked! He might have invented some stuff, but stealing other people’s ideas and then taking credit for them is just plain wrong.

He was less of a brilliant inventor and more of a sneaky little inventor pirate. Next thing you know, we’ll find out that his famous quote, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration,” was plagiarized from a motivational poster. Come on, Edison, give credit where credit is due!
