Yay! I'm part of the 2%! It's sad not many people know about Tesla..
I was talking to someone at work about him while we were discussing the Prestige, and she didn't realize he had been a real person....

Gotta agree with Jay! I'm always happy to find someone who knows who Tesla was.

Back at-ya Jay!
I want one of Tesla's toys that I saw on History channel. It was a Wild West Freak Show gadget. It's basically a high voltage table connected to generators. When a person, usually a woman, sits on the metal top of the 'table', huge amounts of electricity will pass harmlessly through her body and exits in rather impressive 'lightning bolts' through the highest point of her body. The trick is to wear metal finger tips (such as thimbles) and keep your hands above your head. The TV show had a girl doing the stunt, but as she waved her hands around, both accidentally dropped below her PONYTAIL which was piled up like "I Dream of Jeannie". She got a nasty shock to remind her to keep those hand HIGH! The point of the metal gloves or thimbles was to keep the electrical charge from burning her hands. The pony tail did not have the same protection and he got a burn.
