Am I the only person in the whole big, bad world who didn’t know about THIS?

The whole thing’s such a shock to me (har). Here I was picturing Thomas Edison as some kindly ole gentleman, hunched over a work table strewn with burnt filaments and complicated diagrams. Turns out that the table was really strewn with the still-sizzling carcasses (carci) of electrocuted dogs and cats and ELEPHANTS. Ok, it was just one elephant…that we know of. Did anyone ever dig around in his crawl space after he finally kicked off? It’s really not much of a jump from cats/dogs/elephants to young, naked boys and a bit of muriatic acid. Just ask Mr. Dahmer.

In his lifetime, Thomas Edison held 1,093 patents. The kinetograph, kinetoscope and film projector were just three of them – Edison’s primitive versions of motion picture camera/viewing equipment. Now, by combining these specific inventions with a few of his other “scientific interests”, I’d be willing to bet a heap of smouldering flesh that he also invented the first snuff film.

Thomas Alva Edison: America’s sick fuck for science.
