Tesla's story is one that I always come back to. I was trying to teach my sister about the current war and linked her to the Oatmeal's comic. He's definitely one of the most interesting historical figures out there.
Tesla was pretty great. I'm so happy that The Oatmeal raised enough money to buy his property and turn it into a museum for him.
Yes, I agree!

Hooray for the most underappreciated man in history [at least while he was alive]
He may have been underappreciated, but I am willing to bet there were other men who made amazing advances and no one has ever heard of them.
The definition of underappreciated.
It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

This would be an awesome way to go.I'd prefer to die to a Tesla Coil than a regular electric chair.
Edison you giant bastard you.
