Nikola Tesla rocked and Thomas Edison was a douche

Matthew Inman from The Oatmeal wrote a great comic outlining Why Nichola Tesla was the greatest geek who ever lived.

As pointed out in NPR, this caught the eyes of Jane Alcorn, the president of the nonprofit group The Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe who is trying to save Tesla's laboratory and turn it into the only museum dedicated to Tesla. She asked Inman for help with great success. 

Now The Oatmeal is running Operation Let's Build a Goddamn Tesla Museum, where they asked for (and got) $850k to be used to purchase Tesla's labIt was a HUGE success and  now they are looking for more money to actually build the Museum from individuals and businesses.
