you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

This looks like a good bet. I haven't read throuh it all, but apparently patience and normal physics could do the job.

very interesting, prebe old chap! I followed a link to Tesla, and the more I read, the more I realize Edison was a conniving cheating bastard and probably never "invented" a friggin thing in his life. we've been fed more propaganda bullshit glorifying a man of "science" who was more likely just a greedy dam capitalist.

Upon his arrival to the United States, Nikola Tesla accepted a job with the Thomas Edison company. Tesla's work for Edison began with simple electrical engineering. Eventually Tesla earned the respect of Edison and offered to undertake a complete re-design of the Edison company's DC dynamos. After Tesla described the nature of the benefits from his proposed modifications, Edison offered him $50,000 if they were successfully completed. Tesla worked nearly a year to redesign them and gave the Edison company several enormously profitable new patents in the process. When Tesla inquired about the $50,000, Edison replied to him, "Tesla, you don't understand our American humor"and reneged on his agreement, offering a raise in Tesla's salary of $10 per week as a compromise - at which rate it would have taken almost 100 years to earn the money Edison had originally promised.
Tesla resigned on the spot.
In some accounts of the final confrontation, he didn't say a single word to Edison but simply turned his back on the inventor and walked off the premises.

[quote="Ezz""]very interesting, prebe old chap! [/quote]Yes it is isn't it? I just read the whole thing and watched the animations. This is one goofy dude, but there's nothing superantural about what he's doing. I'm particularly fond of the "round road" demo.
