      - Born in Chinatown in a Chinese Hospital btw since you place so much emphasis on where he was born.

      - In his 32 years alive he spent 19 in Hong Kong, 13 in the US.

      Isn't accurate to say American of Chinese descent seeing as he himself lived in Hong Kong longer than he did in the US during his lifetime. My opinion but i can't see it any other way.

          Nope, you're both wrong. Lewis Latimore created the light bulb. Look it up.

            You're correct. Being born in America doesn't make you an American.

                  Well, the flourescent was invented by a pinoy named agapito flores, he was screwed up by Philips. I don't believe any of this ****. I mean how can a pinoy invent something of significance?

                  Have you heard of LED? Some gossips are going around that they were invented by the chinese. I said what? Chinese invented them nail used to crucify Jesus but LED? they got to be kidding me.

                      "English chemist/physicist Joseph Swan experimented with a carbon-filament incandescent light all the way back in 1860, and by 1878 had developed a better design which he patented in Britain. On the other side of the Atlantic, Thomas Edison developed a successful carbon-filament bulb, receiving a patent for it (#223898) in January 1880, before Lewis Latimer did any work in electric lighting"
