Henry Woodward - inventor of the lightbulb
http://inventors.about.com/od/lstartinventions/a/lighting_2.htm Contrary to popular belief, Thomas Alva Edison didn't "invent" the light bulb, but rather he improved upon a 50-year-old idea.
For example two inventors that patented an incandescent lightbulb before Thomas Edison did were Henry Woodward and Matthew Evan. According to the National Research Council of Canada: "Henry Woodward of Toronto, who along with Matthew Evans patented a light bulb in 1875. |

Louise Poirier
developed a revolutionary push-up bra with underwire and light padding -- a "plunge and push" technology to maximize cleavage and minimize the effects of gravity. Appropriately, she named it the Wonderbra. |

I am going to say James Doohan (Mr. Scott of Star Trek) because I grew up in the same city he did and attended the same highschool. I don't know if he's your favorite... but he's mine!
