Henry Ford Was a Weird ManAdded:
Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were BFFs, with Henry even serving as Edison's chief electrical engineer in 1894. But, things took a weird turn near the end because when Edison was on his deathbed, Henry asked Edison's son to stand guard and never leave his side so that when his father finally kicked the bucket, he could pounce in and capture his father's last breath in a vial, which is kind of sweet if you really, really think about it. By the way, that vial is currently on display at the Henry Ford Museum.
