Trivia: What electrical device did men once wear on top hats?
String lights
Lightning rods
Light bulbs
Small generators
The correct answer is Lightning rods
So why is this answer correct? : In the 1780s, Parisian men and women had the colossally bad idea to put lightning rods on top hats and umbrellas. They believed it would stop them from getting electrocuted if they were hit by lightning. And truthfully, it did work once—someone carrying a parasol equipped with a lightning rod was struck, and the strike grounded out through a coil attached to the rod.
