lmao

 
I know that isn't the right answer. I'm saying that b and c are not necessarily different answers.
So you're concerned that maybe Edison held four million patents?
No, I'm concerned that tanner's students will be confused.
do you think that confusion might be fixed by realizing that having four million patents is impossible?
That's not what your mom said. OH!

 
If Edison had only created 130 patents every single day since he was born he could have easily reached 4 million by the age of 84. Totally reasonable point by Abe IMO.

Just because my mom had filthy sex with all manner of creatures under circumstances you couldn't get one of Charlie Sheen's porn stars to perform in doesn't mean she's a moron.

Of course, then the patent office probably would have issued the four millionth patent some time just a touch before the 1970s.

 
Maybe if Boyle wouldn't have used such a realistic number like, "4 million" we wouldn't be having this argument.

WAY TO #### IT UP, TANNER

 
Walked into McDonalds earlier. No beer. Pulp Fiction lied to me.

Got a pint of some French beer at a pub. 9 euros.

Also it's raining and not supposed to stop the entire time we are here.

Neat city.
