Thomas Alva Edison, jr. (1847-1931), whose life has been adequately documented elsewhere, has been somewhat neglected as of late. Everyone easily admits that he invented the Rocket Propelled Chainsaw and was instrumental in developing both the Friday theory and the Electro-suit - and some even go as far as to claim the Time machine in his name - and yet, nobody seems to give him all the credit that is his due. For instance, his superiority to the Renaissance democrat Leonardo da Vinci is not mentioned often enough. Bafflingly, the information to deduce the said superiority has been available ever since Edison's time.
