    So, my grandmother came back from "Chicargo" (as she says it) the other day, and she brought back some t-shirts. 
     
    Anyway, instead of getting something that I would actually like, she brought back a shirt with an Edison quote on it (which if you know anything about Tesla and Edison, they were mortal enemies). And I'm pretty sure you can tell which one I like (hint: it's Tesla). So obviously, I can't wear a shirt with my hero's arch enemy on it. Not only that, but my grandmother can't even pronounce Tesla's name right! She says "Tesler". Stupid Boston accent! And she doesn't even live in Boston! (We hail from western Massachusetts). 
     
    And the other shirt she brought was even worse. It was from the Henry Ford museum, and it was all covered in Ford propaganda. And I am not a big fan of Ford. Why? Their cars are junk. Sure, all American cars these days are junk, but Fords are worse. Why? Well, they didn't get a bailout from the government because they were so bad they fell apart before GM or Chrysler did, and thus had already restructured and whatnot. 
     
    Plus, anyone who dug into Assassin's Creed II and found all of those hidden symbol dealies will tell you what types of evil shenanigan's Edison and Ford got into, all whilst Tesla was fighting for good. What's that you say? That game is fiction? LIES! It's a historical document!1!

    Tesla is the most underrated scientist ever, he is my hero too, I'm glad that gamers really appreciate his contributions to humanity due to goofy death ray guns, thanks Red Alert

    Judging by the name, Tesla is already so much more badass than Edison.

    Very. That movie is where I first really learned about Tesla's awesomeness. I had heard of him before, but watching that movie made me interested enough to read up on him.
