    I’m going to assume you’re serious…

    You’re describing the relationship between Nicola Tesla (inventor, genius) and Thomas Edison (business man, scumbag).

    Benjamin Franklin (pictured right) is the guy who proved the existence of electricity. He is better known for inventing using the printing press and inventing bifocals.

    Apparently he invented time travel, too, if he was able to go back to 1440 to invent the printing press.

    I wouldn’t put it past him.

    You’re right, not the inventor. I had thought he reinvented it, making the first modern printing press, rather he built his own and was one of the first prolific users of one in America.
