January 4Th, 1903, Coney Island - Thomas Edison, showing the dangers of alternate current as compared to direct current, tapes the execution of an elephant.  Edison had the elephant electrocuted using alternate current.  The killing of the elephant was allowed, because it was deemed dangerous when it killed three people in three years.  Life was so much more fun without PETA being such a wet blanket.  To check out the video click here.
