Edison believed that everyone had 15 to 20 little tiny people walking around in their heads.
They live in the part of the brain called the convolution of Broca, where memories are stored.
He believed that when you died they moved into someone else.
He used bamboo as a filament in his light bulbs.
He filed 1093 patents with his little friends, the tiny Edisons, including the price sticker gun.
He also invented the word 'Hello', from 'hullo', an expression of surprise.
He thought 'hello' sounded clearer for phone uses.
The first wriitten use of the word 'hello' is in a letter by Edison dated 1787.
Alexander Graham Bell preferred 'Ahoy, Hoy ! "
Which is still used by Montgomery Burns today.
