    A Canadian invented the lightbulb?

    About.com

    "Henry Woodward of Toronto, who along with Matthew Evans patented a light bulb in 1875. Unfortunately, the two entrepreneurs could not raise the financing to commercialize their invention. The enterprising American Thomas Edison, who had been working on the same idea, bought the rights to their patent. Capital was not a problem for Edison: he had the backing of a syndicate of industrial interests with $50,000 to invest - a sizable sum at the time.
    Sleep well, and dream of large women.

          A person invented the lightbulb. Their nationality has little relevance IMO.
          I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
          I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
