Yay, funny names! I got a few of those...

Yorgei (combine that with the apparently "common" Shithead, and you got yourself one awesome name! Man, you'd be impervious to internets insults!)
Odd Wang (seriously! Norwegian name...)
Anass Rhammar (some taxi driver)
Chew Kok (also a taxi driver)

Edison was indeed a genius at some point. Problem was, he was first and foremost a businessman - and the godfather of modern Big Business douchebaggery. The overwhelming majority of "his" inventions were taken from his employees, who would never get any credit for their work at all. The only one who has had any credit (posthumously, mind you) would be Tesla - who was, for example, instrumental in helping Edison roll out his DC power distribution / power plants. Oh, and he was also the one who made sure it would later fail. Although, Edison made sure Tesla died a poor man before he could get anything from that...
