Seriously, I would like to be able to sort of try to maybe rationalize this shit with some sort of socio-normative crappola, but a medal from adolf??? i'm kind of assuming he accepted it....but shit - i mean, that's fucking committment. next you'll be telling me that edison got the idea for the light bulb from his dog...
Actually, Edison didn't have the idea for the lightbulb at all-he-or, rather, his staff and some say a very productive, imaginative black man whose name escapes me at the moment-perfected it and Edison, being an astute businessman, quickly applied for and received the patent. It's been said Edison was a tireless, astute thief of ideas.....
