Raithe Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 A Nice little ode to Nikola Tesla... For the remainder (which is a big chunk) Why Nikola Tesla was the Greatest Geek who ever lived! So many people forget about the bad side of Edison... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Nikola Tesla and Guglielmo Marconi are my two favorite inventors. After all, I owe my profession to them!

Orogun01 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 You're a psychiatrist? I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Tesla could send energy 26 miles and make earthquakes and lightning balls and split the earth in half, but uh.. he had all these schemes in his head so we can't prove or replicate any of this. But wasn't he cool?! Sure. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Geek? No no... Nikolas "AC" Tesla was nothing short of being a Genius. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepenthe Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 IIRC, Tesla was also totally asexual and spent his time firing electrons and avoiding the rather large contingent of women who were chasing him (women liking nothing more than a guy who totally ignores them, as we all know). Geek. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Always admired Tesla. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Don't forget, he also "invented" lots of stuff that was garbage. Or remember his magic machine to bring wireless energy to the whole world? And apparently, at the end of his life, he claimed that he unified gravity and electromagnetism and managed to disprove relativity and quantum theory. :> "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
