    Basically, Nikola Tesla was the ultimate mad scientist, which is seriously fucking awesome.

    From the page: "Nikola Tesla was one of those super-genius badasses whose intellect placed him dangerously on the precipice between "great scientific mind" and "utter madness". "

    From the page: "Pretty much everybody even remotely associated with real-time strategy games has heard the name Tesla before â€" the Serbian God of Lightning's omnipresent, ever-zapping coils have been ruining the fucking lives of digital Allied soldiers and gibbing U.S. war machines into spare parts since the release of Command & Conquer: Red Alert in 1996 â€" but surprisingly few people these days are familiar with the life and times of one of humankind's most eccentric, badass, and volumetrically-insane scientific super-geniuses.

    Very readable chronicle of Tesla awesomeness

    Awesome! The basis of my studies, work (and your power), comes from this guy. Exaggerations, sure, but still he is one of the baddest bad asses of all time!

    Much of this is speculation and exaggeration. Wikipedia's coverage is much better and has citations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla

    FP:Fucking Nikola Tesla once lit 200 lightbulbs from a power source 26 miles away, and he did it in 1899 with a machine he built from spare parts in the middle of the fucking desert. To this day, nobody can really figure out how the fuck he pulled that shit off, because two-thirds of the schematics only existed in the darkest recesses of Tesla's all-powerful brain. What's sad ...if he lived during today's times he would have probably had to move to another country where he would have the "freedom" to fully use his gifts.

    Mr. Tesla certainly was a bad ass genius. I've been known to say, a creative mind is always one step from lunacy. Or in this case it's a genius mind.
