Have you heard the good news?! Actually the great news? The Oatmeal is on an epic quest to raise enough money for a nonprofit organization to buy the land and the building that was once the laboratory of Nikola Tesla. If the organization gets the necessary funds they want to open up a Nikola Tesla museum!
Why is this a big deal?
Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest (possibly somewhat insane) minds to ever grace this world. It could be said he was one of the founding fathers of geekdom seeing as he did things because he loved them and not necessarily for profit. Want to know more? Check out The Oatmeal’s infographic entitled “Why Nikola Tesla Was The Greatest Geek Who Ever Lived.” Then head on over to the indiegogo site and do a little donating. While they have reached their initial goal of $850,000 to assist with the purchase of the land/building, to get the actual museum up and running will take a whole lot more green.
Spread the word! We need a Tesla museum!
