Thomas Edison, the inventor of the incandescent globe, or the "light bulb" as we call it today, was never one to waste words.  Hard of hearing, he avoided a lot of social conversation; but when he said something, people listened.  That was especially true of the night Edison lay dying.  Struggling to say something, his wife and doctor leaned down to catch his dying words.  With a smile he clearly and distinctly said, "It is very beautiful over there!"
