The Oatmeal Begins a Fundraiser for a Nikola Tesla Museum

Posted by samzenpus on from the and-he-knew-that-he-would-never-invent-anything-worthy-of-a-pigeon dept.

Quince alPillan writes "The Oatmeal's Matthew Inman is once again collecting money for a good cause. This time, he's collecting money for the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe to purchase the original location of the Wardenclyffe Tower in Shoreham, New York so that it can be rebuilt into a Tesla Museum. The fundraiser, titled Let's Build a Goddamn Tesla Museum has already started."

    ... who's going to start a kickstarter project to build an Edison museum across from the Tesla one?

      Just wait a few years and slap Edison's name over top of Tesla's.

      I'd prefer cloning him, and then having the clone build it. As long as we're building a B-movie death ray, we might as well have a B-movie story to go along with it.

      After we're done with him, we can have the clone battle an Edison robot, and my life will be complete.

    At this point, I was certain that most "nerd-centric" sites were of a similar mindset, and spammed up their pages to keep the Luddites out.
