So, whichever, he was a visionary scientist (but couldn't take care of finances to save his hide) who doesn't really get the respect he deserves.
"This publicity photo taken at Colorado Springs was a double exposure. Tesla posed with his 'magnifying transmitter' capable of producing millions of volts of electricity. The discharge shown is twenty-two feet in length."

Only very exceptional people have birthdays on two consecutive days. It took the US Department of State to turn me into one of them.
Tesla, the band wasn't half bad either! ;p
Poor Jenn, those asshats at the State Dept couldn't find their butt's with two hands..I swear to Buddha!
Yes indeed, Happy Birthdays to a genius of the highest order!
BTW, I'd die to take a photo like that.
I mean, really die!
;)
