Signs, signs, everywhere a sign...

Shocking.

HFS! Lmao, asmp, tears in my eyes at this one:



Tesla is like George in that Seinfeld episode "The Abstinence", where he gets really smart.

Oh, maybe that explains the inspiration behind the episode.

Didn't Tesla do a song called "Edison's Medicine"?

Probably a diff Tesla.....

 

[Capt Worley PE]

Didn't Tesla do a song called "Edison's Medicine"?

trivia: It was going to be called Edison's medicine, but for some reason they changed it to 'Man out of time.' I had a cassette that had Edison's Medicine crossed out and man Out of Time right behind it.

^ This whole exchange has been freaking hilarious. I love the Oatmeal.

Shortly after responding to Forbes, the Oatmeal posted on Facebook that they had effectively crashed the Forbes website due to the influx of traffic.

The Oatmeal's Latest Fundraiser To Save The Tesla Tower

Matthew Inman (perhaps better known as web comic creator The Oatmeal) has an ambitious fund-raising project up his sleeve—to save Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower.

Wardenclyffe Tower is rich in history, a symbolic landmark of Nikola Tesla’s last great piece of scientific research that was in Tesla’s mind, destined to change the world.

This thread is fucking up the scenery and breaking my stride.

That dude was cooking; he was one of a kind.

I think it's amazing they've already raised over $300,000 toward the $850,000 goal. In ONE DAY.

317,307 as of now

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Never underestimate the power of the Oatmeal.

 

[willsee]

Considering how much they raised towards the lawyer it isn't too surprising.

^^^ But that took almost 2 weeks. Granted, most of it came within the first 48 hours, but still.

 

[Master slacker]

The fundraiser is just steam rolling along right now. HFS
