@ sphinx:

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman who developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph and the long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large teamwork to the process of invention, and therefore is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.

Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding 1,093 U.S. patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France and Germany. He is credited with numerous inventions that contributed to mass communication and, in particular, telecommunications. His advanced work in these fields was an outgrowth of his early career as a telegraph operator. Edison originated the concept and implementation of electric-power generation and distribution to homes, businesses, and factories - a crucial development in the modern industrialized world. His first power plant was on Manhattan Island, New York.

The credibility of that just went down the drain ... the zipper was invented by a swede. And btw, Edison didn't invent the lightbulb. http://www.inventioncity.com/edison_bulb.htm

He didn't invent the lightbulb, he invented a new type of lightbulb that actually was practical to use


Also:

Whitcomb L. Judson (1836-1909) was an American inventor that was born in Chicago, Illinois. Whitcomb is most famous for manufacturing the forerunner of the modern zipper in 1893, which he called the clasp-locker. He also invented the Pneumatic Street Railway. During his lifetime, he obtained patents for the zipper, motor improvements and railroad brakes improvements. His invention of the zipper became commonly used today.


The Swede you are referring to that improved upon the zipper, Gideon Sundback, was actually Swede-AMERICAN, and when he invented it he asked his good American friend B.F. Goodrich for a name, who then dubbed it the zipper

The Zipper is a carnival ride designed in 1968 by Chance Rides Manufacturing, Inc., an American manufacturer of amusement rides based in Wichita, Kansas. The ride is noted for exerting higher g-forces on its riders than most amusements. The Zipper is a very popular attraction at many fairs and carnivals.

Saying that shows how generalized and wrong your view on America is. Thats like saying all Europeans have small reproductive organs and a tremendously inflated ego.

" They are a diverse mixture of peoples that enjoy engaging in soccer, which is largely regarded as an activity for pansies and homosexuals. Due to the success of their North American counter-parts they often resort to "America bashing" which is understandable due to the embarisment of being bailed out not once, but twice in a time of war. Although many will not admit that such a situation ever existed. "
