The mentally almighty mother-fucking Serbian God of Lightning is none other than, Nikola Tesla, but surprisingly few people these days know of one of mankind’s most eccentric, scientific super-geniuses of all time.
Let’s start off by saying first off; Nikola Tesla was extremely fucking brilliant. There’s not another single mother fucker, close to his genius, with only one exception, William Sidis.
In college the Croatian-born engineer spoke ten languages, could write simultaneously with both hands at the same time, while doing equally different writing task. Tesla then decided to come to America, and first got a job with Thomas Edison. Telsa in no time improved everything Edison had created. Telling him to switch from DC power to AC power, Edison thought that was the dumbest idea he ever heard of. Edison feeling overshadowed by Tesla’s brilliance decided not to pay for any work that Tesla did. Which made them mortal enemies. Tesla then got financial backing from Billionaire JP Morgan and George Westinghouse. Both Westinghouse and Morgan allowed Tesla to keep the patents, and a small salary, but both made millions off of Tesla.
Now with financial backing, Tesla developed technology that harnessed the power of electricity for household use(A/C), and invented things like electrical generators, FM radio, wireless electricity, radar, cellular technology, remote control, robots, spark plugs, fluorescent lights, microwave technology, hydroelectric power plant, X-Rays, constructed a bath designed to cleanse the human body of germs using nothing but electricity, created laser beams, turbines and vertical take off aircraft. He had over 700 patents in his lifetime
He had such a thirst for knowledge combined with his photographic memory and an insane ability to visually map-out even the most complex pieces of machinery – Tesla did advanced calculus and physics equations in his fucking head, memorized entire books at a time, and successfully pulled off many scientific experiments that modern-day geniuses still can’t even come close to replicating. For instance, in 2007 the top minds at MIT thought they were the smartest cat’s on the planet when they wirelessly transmitted electrical energy a distance seven feet through the air. Nikola Tesla lit 200 light bulbs from a power source 26 miles away for several days, and he did it in 1899 with a machine he built from spare parts. Most of the Top Brains of the world can not figure out how the fuck he pulled that shit off, because two-thirds of the schematics only existed in the darkest recesses of Tesla’s all-powerful noggin.
Like many other eccentric geniuses he was prone to nervous breakdowns, claimed to receive weird visions in the middle of the night, spoke to pigeons, and occasionally thought he was receiving electromagnetic signals from extraterrestrials. He had a severe case of OCD, hated pearls, and anything that wasn’t divisible by three. He was also celibate for his entire life. Tesla allowed himself few close friends, although one was author, Mark Twain.
Tesla did create a super weapon more powerful then 100 nuclear weapons, and decided that no single county deserve to have that sort of power so he divided up the plans half of them go each powerhouse country in the world, and the other half locked in his massive brain.
Towards the end, Tesla thought all mankind should have free electricity, but JP Morgan knowing their was no money in just giving away free shit, shut down his project. Financial black-balled Tesla, and made no one on the planet lend Tesla anymore money. When Tesla died J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI confiscated all his personal shit and locked it away in some Raider’s of the Lost Ark warehouse.

The kiss of death.
This astonishing sculpture forms part of Barcelona’s Poblenou Cemetery. The Kiss of Death (El Petó de la Mort in Catalan and El beso de la muerte in Spanish) dates back to 1930. A winged skeleton bestows a kiss on the lips of a handsome young man: is it ecstasy on his face or resignation? Little wonder the sculpture elicits strong and varying responses from whoever gazes upon it.

Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.

Do you know what is better than charity and fasting and prayer? It is keeping peace and good relations between people, as quarrels and bad feelings destroy mankind.

On my mom’s porch looking at the stars, tellin joey child that’s what we are
There we go, my soul, they’ll never owe me
My crew rolled, the top, it won’t be lonely
