Facts need updating as history reveals truth.

Enjoy most of the stories however, some of the info is still mired in some fiction or omission of fact. Regarding Edison inventing lightbulb currently in use, it omits two Canadian gents that patented the Incandescent light bulb, 5 years ahead of Edison on July 24 1874. Mathew Evans of Toronto Ontario and his friend Henry Woodward made light by sending electricity through a Carbon filament. It's only after refusal by their own govt. to see any "real practical use" that the Canadian duo sold their patent to Edison, which he used to refine changes to make bulbs last much longer. There in is the True story!
