Edison's last breath is reportedly contained in a test tube at The Henry Ford museum near Detroit. Ford reportedly convinced Charles Edison to seal a test tube of air in the inventor's room shortly after his death, as a memento.
That was actually the plot to my second-favorite episode of the British comedy anthology series Inside No. 9, titled Last Gasp, so of course I was wondering if Edison was the inspiration for this but it appears
to not be the case:
I mean they didn't hafta say it to me like that, but okay.The story was inspired by someone Pemberton had seen on Swap Shop who collected air from different places.
"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), "isn't Tamsin Greig, the guest star in that episode, one of your all-time BBC ladies???"
Sigh. Yes she is, faithful reader
