Dumb Things Famous People Said

Nikola Tesla, who invented the alternating current, was considered an engineering genius in the 1930s, a rival for acclaim to Thomas Edison. He was also a stalwart crusader against the evils of chewing gum. Not from a moral stance, but for health reasons. "By exhaustion of the salivary glands," Tesla declared, "gum puts many a foolish victim in the grave." Most people without his brainpower probably didn't realize that.
