Happy Birthday...

...Nikola Tesla.

Very possibly the most important person you probably never have heard of.

Well, right up there with Thomas Edison, anyway. (Except you've heard of Edison.)

And why hasn't the History Channel done one of their infernal Conspiracy Theory specials on Tesla?

UPDATE: While mowing the lawn, I remembered seeing a "thing" about Tesla on the History Channel after all. lots of material on the Edison v. Tesla/Westinghouse feud.
But they still spend more time on Nostradamus...

Surely everyone's heard of the Tesla Coil...or at least anyone who ever played Command and Conquer Red Alert.
