Einstein has been dead for over a 100 years. I am pretty sure everyone knows already he went down.

Actually, it’s only been just over 55 years, and it was from an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

That was Thomas Edison. His light bulb came out in 1879, but he wasn't the first to invent the light bulb. He died 80 years ago from diabetes.

He never replied to that last email.
