quade 4 #12 April 24, 2002 Quote*The electric chair was invented by a dentist.Not true. It was invented by Edison. Actually, Edison himself probably didn't invent it, it was probably his crew in his lab, but it's his name on the patent.Edison wanted to prove the evils of AC current, his brand was DC. Edison toured the country doing demostrations of how "dangerous" AC was by hooking it up to and killing dogs, horses and even elephants.. Finally, he invented the electric chair. Certainly if the electric chair that ran on AC killed people, then most people wouldn't want AC in their houses.quadehttp://futurecam.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kmcguffee 0 #15 April 24, 2002 Harold P. Brown and Dr. Fred Peterson invented it for Edison. One of them HAD to be a dentist. Dentists love inflicting pain! Reminds me of the show 'Little Shop of Horrors' where Bill Murray loved going to the dentist and refused the pain killers. Classic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
