Seriously, when is the last time you sat in a lab with thousands of volts of electricity buzzing free form over your head?

Tesla was a badass, Edison was just an asshole!

The only thing that "The wizard of menlo park" was a wizard at was stealing patents

Who cares about humanity, can I make money?! Jerk.

Meaning it's simple to steal people's inventions. The hard part is getting away with it

van de graaff generators are fun :)
