Let's Build a Goddamn Tesla Museum!

Awhile back, the fine folks (or folk; singular) made a great article about the great scientist, Nikola Tesla. Well, as it turns out, the site of Tesla's original laboratory has gone on sale. And now, some people want to buy it and make a Tesla museum out of it!

Naturally, because it's a big thing right now, they're crowd sourcing it. So far, they've raised a fourth of what they need, which is pretty damn good. If I had the funds, I'd totally throw in some cash. Have a look:

I'm not a Tesla fan primarily because he called Einstein an idiot.

No, it was Tesla who thought Relativity was rubbish. Edison was a jerk in terms of business ruthlessness.

Yeah I remember reading about all his business practices and being shocked. (No pun intended. ...or was there?)
The amount of dragging through the mud that Edison did to Tesla's name was astonishing.
