Alexander Graham Bell was Canadian - GoFuckYourself.com

Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone and co-inventor of the hydrofoil boat, was a Canadian. He was born in Scotland, but if the U.S. can claim Einstein and the atomic bomb, then Canada can claim Bell and the telephone, and his other inventions, such as the microphone..

Go here for a list of other things invented by Canadians that you probably thought were American.

It was a real surprise to me.

Edison did a lot.

Bought the patent for the lightbulb and made major improvements on it.

Actually invented the telephone BEFORE Alexander G. Bell, and did it better... but he kept tweaking it and got to the patent office 4 hours AFTER Bell.

Invented the Dynamo (electric generator) , electric cigar lighter for cars, electric streetcars;

And last but not least, THE MOVIE PROJECTOR!

Same service that runs your lines down there...oh except we pay about half as much as you do.

I got unlimitted North American calls for 40$ a month total cost, local line with unlimitted long distance.

I used to work for Bell Atlantic (befor they were Verizon) and im glad we dont have the shit you guys have.

I know Tesla had been working on both those inventions, but hadnt gotten any patents on them.

Inventions: a telephone repeater, rotating magnetic field principle, polyphase alternating-current system, induction motor, alternating-current power transmission, Tesla coil transformer, wireless communication, radio, fluorescent lights, and more than 700 other patents.
