I wanted to write a whole big thing about Nikola Tesla and that douchebag Edison, but the Oatmeal beat me to it and did it much better, so...
Nikola Tesla is Better than Us!
Let us celebrate how much this man gave to the world, and how much we owe to him. It's a shame that he will never know how much he means to us, as he died fucking penniless! Nikola Tesla was a visionary (albeit a crazy one), and the American people spat on him in their ignorance. I wish I could say we would treat him better now, but the CEOs of the world are still stomping all over the greatest minds of our era...so perhaps not.
Nikola Tesla...I wish we had treated you with the respect you deserve! Happy Birthday, you wonderful, wonderful man!
