I came across this image of Mark Twain in Nikola Tesla’s lab and thought, since it’s Nikola’s birthday tomorrow, I’d put it up here. Apparently the two were friends. I can’t help but wonder what it would have been like to be a fly on the wall of that laboratory. Then again, a Tesla coil looks like one hell of a bug zapper.
Wow, this picture is FANTASTIC. It’s like finding a photo of Abraham Lincoln hanging out with Batman in Wayne Manor.
Good analogy. My mind didn’t have the two living in the same era, much less like enough to pal around.
Exactly what I was thinking.
