The Oatmeal raises money to buy and preserve Nikola Tesla's old laboratory

Tesla is a bad ass.

That he was.

I always think of Fallout when I hear his name.

I always think of Command & Conquer.

Here's what I think of;

Of course with this batt tech:

Though I think they could have done a MUCH much better job with the interior.

I always think of the giant tower he wanted to build to supply people with free electricity, until his backers pulled out because they realized they wouldn't make money.

It's that exact location they're trying to preserve :)

Really? *clicks link* Oh, cool, well go The Oatmeal, they get shit done! (what exactly I'm not sure)

Donate!

& so it happens!

All thanks to The Oatmeal

Free electricity for all!!! owaitmaybenot

Anyways that's great! Damn there are a lot of ads on that there page!

Great read and good news, but like DNM said, tons of ads to get through for the small amount of actual article.

Get an ad blocker, noobs.

I was going to say, I never noticed an inordinate number of adverts :P

I sometimes turn my adblock off to watch youtube as several of the guys I'm subscribed to deserve that .8 of a cent (or whatever), you cynical old fart.

geez, just add youtube as an exception then, supernoob!

Fuck no, sometimes I cbf and want to watch everything ad frfrfrfrfreeeeeeeee!

uses his magic wand

Your egg sandwich is now a steak sandwich thanks to the power of magic and Youtube!

I had a different kind of magic wand in mind.
