Biography

A Black crow flapped his wings in a dead tree. At the moment I was born. A camel awoke, stretched and wandered away over the desert; just then my mate came into being. We met quite accidentally at Darjeeling, married, raised five children, built a house, and kept a cat. Later, we died and were buried in the same grave. This completes our history. . . Not that it does anybody any good.

Edison the inventor
So if he was an inventor, what did he invent and why is it not listed here?
