Some of today's history may change with time, that sounds weird because things either happen or they don't, but if history indeed repeats itself then there will be errors. For instance at one time it was taught that George Washington had wooden teeth, but his teeth were actually made from metal and animal teeth, not really a better option though one less likely to cause splinters. Thomas Edison was no doubt a genius and though most people associate him with inventing the light bulb he didn't invent it only improved the invention. Saving the shortest until last, we will end today's post with Napoleon who people remember for wearing a bicorn hat, his white horse Marengo and being short. The hat and the horse part are correct and by today's standards at 5'6" he would be considered short but for his time period that was an average height.
