In 1879 Edison experimented with carbonfibre for the lightbulb ( that's all he did actually ). He also was a partisan for continuous current while Nikola Tesla was a defender of alternating current. Electricity now works on alternating current wich means that Edison was wrong in a way. He can actually getting credit for inventing a proper working electric chair ( but must we be proud of that? ).

Iron Maiden music was influenced by Deep Purple, Bruce D. operatic singing style was influenced by Ian Gillan and not Ozzy. Metallica were mostly influenced by Deep Purple and Thin Lizzy.

And last but not least - Tony Iommi and not Ozzy was the main composer in the band. Ozzy can't even read notes and this is a well known fact. Ozzy singing ability? - I don't even want to talk about that.

Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War and succeeded in preserving the Union, abolishing slavery,... read more It was good he freed the slaves, but people don't know the full story.
At first, Lincoln only freed slaves in the SOUTH. The slaves in the northern states were still in bondage. The only reason Lincoln did THAT was to give the South some incentive to rejoin the Union, while keeping Northern slave states happy so they wouldn't leave the Union and join the Confederates.
There is a quote from Lincoln (look it up) that basically says he doesn't mind if slavery is abolished or not as long as the Union is put back together. It's tough to believe, but it's true.
Of course, he later freed ALL the slaves, which was fantastic, but we can't forget that he wouldn't have if something had not gone the Union's way.
