Chef Jim Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 And the only one to have a 90's hair band named after him.
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Tesla was bat schit crazy too... Did everything in multiples of threes. Supposedly "married" a pigeon. Then there was his "death ray" that would even make DC Tom jealous. LoL... Quite a dreamer vs. Edison's team of "praticality." Maybe his dreams are coming true afterall? ...There is hope for me after all! ;-) ;-)
San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Smartest? Most brilliant for sure. Anyways, Happy Birthday Nicola. I'm glad to see that the car that bears your name is starting to sell like crazy around here.

boyst Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Was just watching something on him the other day. It is amazing how we know Edison so well, and JP Morgan. But, Westinghouse and Telsa are more like D list compared to JP Morgan and Edison.

It sounds like "American Greed".

Could Franklin invent electric generators and keep the entire design in his head without writing it down or drawing it out?
