Edison's basement

[Leslie]

Archaeologists are going in – going down actually – to explore what they think is the basement of Thomas Edison’s office in Garden City, New Jersey. They're hoping to find some artifacts from the man who was solely responsible for devising many of the most important creations of the electronic age.

Solely responsible??
ROFL that's funny. He hardly invented anything. He ran a sweatshop for unemployed inventors. And patented anything and everything they thought of, wether it worked or not. That way, if someone ever came up with a way to make it work, he could claim precedent and steal their ideas too. He was a first class crook and swindle, nothing more.

Probably where Billy Boy got his training.

So he is where big business got their idea from. My company i work for has the same rules. EVEN if i do it at home. Cause they figure i used some company resource to do it. UPTO 6 months after i quit there too.
