Thomas Edison is the best!
I loved the Boy Scout story!!
The boy scout story was inspiring. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us Dr. Billings.
You can make a fire with metallic gum wrapper and a coin cell. All you have to do is cut the gum wrapper so that it is barely connected to the other side and then touch the two sides to the battery. There doesn’t seem to be any good application for it, though, since we already have matches.
I really like Tommy Edison. He’s just so great!
