Basically, they liquor up someone who is passionate about some aspect of history, usually a comedian who's a good story teller. Then when they're good and drunk, they record them telling the story. Then they call on actors and other celebs to re-enact the narration exactly, with all the mumbles and stumbles and asides of the drunken storyteller.

There's a good 15-20 pieces on F-or-D from before comedy central picked it up as a series, and then two seasons on comedy central.
Quit Rausch-ing this $3it up.

There's a learning opportunity here...

In all seriousness he's a ****ing compulsion of mine. Everything out there I have to read.

And for the record I'm not an engineer of any sort but his leaps of logic baffle me.

He didn't tie a string to a kite and get shocked - he found more than one way to transmit energy up the lightning to the clouds and then throw it back down where he wanted it.

No, not literally, but he'd discovered much more of the natural universal laws of physics than anyone before him. And yes, the least of his accomplishments were beating Marconi to receiving radio waves...

yeah, Tesla was one of the most incredible minds who ever lived, and he doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves because of that bastard Edison.

You're guilty of crime in the first degree,
Second and third as well.
My jury finds you'll be serving your time
When you go straight to hell.

'Cause he was Lord of the Lightning,
Though "socially fright'ning",
But never out to sell.

Their nickels and pence
Meant more than did sense,
And not the sensible thing.

Nor did the man outta time, man outta time.
Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind.
Man outta time, man outta time.
All along, world was wrong. You was right.

All that he saw, all he conceived,
They just could not believe.
Steinmetz and Twain were friends that remained,
Along with number three.

He was electromagnetic, completely kinetic,
"New Wizard of the West."
But they swindled and whined that he wasn't our kind,
And said Edison knew best.

He was the man outta time, man outta time.
Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind.
Man outta time, man outta time.
Said you was outta your mind!

You took a shot and it did you in.
Edison's medicine.
You played your cards, but you couldn't win.
Edison's medicine.

I spent twelve years of hard time,
More like the best years of my life.
Never heard or read a single word
About "the man" and his "wicked mind."

They'll sell you on Marconi.
Familiar, but a phony.
Story goes they sold their souls
And swore that you'd never know...

About the man outta time, man outta time.
Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind.
Man outta time, man outta time.
Swore you was outta your mind!

You took a shot and it did you in.
Edison's medicine.
You played your cards, but you couldn't win.
Edison's medicine.

I'm actually going to my first non reggae concert in prob 5-6 years. It's Everclear, Fuel, American Hi-Fi, and The Toadies. And they're playing this little bar in Seminole Fl. Should be fun. And my wife wants to see the Def Lep, and Tesla concert.

I think there's some kind of potential book out there involving Liebniz, Tesla, and Turing as sort of historical losers that have been "rediscovered" and turned into counterculture darlings.
