        Well they weren't legally married. He was nuts, which is the main reason Edison beat him. One of his many "quirks" was he was obsessed with finding injured birds and nursing them back to health, which is fine I guess, but he had one who he kept for a long time and he referred to it as his wife.

          I didn't know that, but I have read some other things about him that would lead one to believe he wasn't quit right. There was something about him always wanting 13 places set at a dinner table, regardless of how many people were actually going to be there. And I remember something about him hating women who wore pearl earrings.
          He may have been bipolar.

            Yeah, I read about his pidgeon.
            I guess he was kinda mixed about it. He was confusing pet love with wife love I think.

              I punched many girls in self-defense before I turned 18. Even broke one's arm with a rock.
              that's a new one!

                      I am old, I used to part of a forum like this back when myspace was popular. I have always wondered if anyone from that group is on here. It was about 30 or 40 regulars with the same jibber jabber from 2006 to 2009.

                          Before ever posting here, I used to frequent houseofhorrors.com, which had started up in 1997. It was basically one of the early horror film dedication websites that gave thoughts and suggestions on all genre of horror films. There was also an offshoot forum from that site called horrorspeak.com which was at one time quite popular, even having just as many posters in a day as this place. My username there was EVOL not to be confused with evol666 who used to post here.
                          I just took a peek. It seems that houseofhorrors still exists but not much is being done with it one of its pages suggests upgrading to either Netscape 2.0, 3.0 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0
                          . And apparently horrorspeak doesn't exist at all anymore.

                            Been on various chatboxes and messengers. Some might still exist but I'm not really bothering to find out. There is a few other boards I'm frequenting, one is A Dutch one about movies in general the other about Formula 1 racing.
                            And once in a while I use facebook but I rarely post anything there usually check what others do.

                                For me personally Ayrton Senna.
                                But I think you can make a case for Juan-Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark and as much as I disliked him during his career Michael Schumacher. From the current generation Fernando Alonso is the best. Pre formula 1 (before world war II) it was without doubt Tazio Nuvolari.

                                        No they wanted me to send money, first they would say there are interested in you, by the third private message it would be: I lost my passport, my money & no way to reach my family, could you send me money, I will pay you back once I get back in the USA.
                                        It's just piss me off, that I would pay monthly to match.com for this type of crap, I'm not blaming Match.com for this, it's hard to keep track of every fraudulent profiles.
