@nukethewhalesagain: Definitely.

Wouldn't Thomas Edison be more of a Mad Scientist? He did, after all, electrocute an elephant just to convince people how dangerous Tesla's AC power was.

Tesla and Mark Twain vs. Edison, JP Morgan, Marconi, and Carnegie.

The entire Nikola Tesla exhibit at the Smithsonian is a 4x10 inch plack in the Edison room located next to the mens room door. I've been there and seen it. Made me sick.

He's a rockstar scientist!!!!
