Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Think I gotta go with Edison...he's not openly wondering through the media if there's another state that will give him more time to invent the lightbulb next year.

NewarkDevil5 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Any poll that considers Bon Jovi to be more Jersey than Bruce Springsteen is dead to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIP72 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) The two semifinal matchups remind of the 2011 and 1996 Final Fours (men's basketball) - two heavyweights in one semifinal (Edison vs Brodeur), two surprises in the other semifinal (Bon Jovi vs Woodrow Wilson). Honestly, I'd have to pick Edison over Marty. I'm much more appalled that Jon Bon Jovi, who frankly sucks and has always sucked (I was a teenager in the late 1980s; I know bad hair metal when I hear it), beat out Bruce Springsteen. On a more positive note, you have to like how three teams from the same conference Devils members made the tournament and that one of them won his region. (Additionally, another indirect Devils link, Brendan Byrne, won a game poll in his "region".) It's too bad traffic circles and jughandles couldn't have made the tournament.

Neb00rs Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Think I gotta go with Edison...he's not openly wondering through the media if there's another state that will give him more time to invent the lightbulb next year. He does have the advantage of being dead though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squishyx Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla is enough of a reason to vote for Marty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Edison invented the lightbulb, and Marty spends tonight turning them on. You win the internet tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmann422 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Edison is a hack and blatantly stole all of his inventions from tesla. Ok maybe that's exaggeration but the point stands. The man was steadfast in his belief that direct current was better than alternating current, he was 100% about his financial interests, nothing else. Edit: Squishy beat me to it sorry squish didn't see your post yet. Edited April 1, 2014 by dmann422 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RizzMB30 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 The ONLY explanation of Bon Jovi beating out Sinatra and Springsteen is that there are a lot of females voting is this competition. Most women swoon at mere mention of Bon Jovi. Sinatra is better than both Springsteen and Bon Jovi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Think I gotta go with Edison...he's not openly wondering through the media if there's another state that will give him more time to invent the lightbulb next year. It can be argued that he actually wasn't the one who invented the light bulb. He did however invent the filament which revolutionized the lighting industry.

So you're saying that there's a realistic possibility that he invented the light bulb, but not a realistic expectation that he did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Pretty sure Edison invented the motion picture and phonograph. Edison is freaking brilliant (no pun intended) Marty is a stupid hockey player. Voting for Marty is akin to voting for Bon Jovi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is considered to be the pioneer of motion pictures in many circles.

Voting for Marty is akin to voting for Bon Jovi. Hard to argue against that really. Then again, the other semifinal is Bon Jovi vs. Woodrow Wilson. I'm not a Bon Jovi fan really but if I vote for "It's My Life" over the Federal Reserve Act am I being ignorant/immature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
point Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Really, one guy is from Ohio, another from Canada, and another from Virginia. The last is from Sayreville. This is probably a classic New Jersey bundle, a state where so many come to seek their fortunes. Also a fascinating mix of politics, academics, music, science, and sports. Too bad we can't vote by category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
