This might help someone, but I can't figure it out.
1. Makes Bridgegate pale in comparison..... Traffic jam, Chris Christie, New Jersey, George Washington bridge.
2. Curse you bat, I mean ..... Batman, D.C. comics.
3. Edison lost the war.... Edison LOST his hearing, and he also lost "the war" of AC vs. DC current to Nikola Tesla. DC for Edison (impractical) and AC for Tesla.
Hopefully this helps.
