Reproducing via sex predates Edison too. Still works pretty well.



One of my finest comments was made to some kind of curator bureaucrat at
the Smithsonian Institute, in response to his question of what I thought of
his exhibit of Edison, Smithsonian's fair-haired American boy.

"I find it ironic that the Institute would illuminate the Edison exhibit
with Tesla's flourescent lighting, from Tesla's ballast transformers, off
Tesla's AC power system.", I told him. "I think the whole building should
be running off your boy Edison's DC power system from an Edison DC
generator station behind the building."

Smithsonian had refused a bronze bust of Tesla from some elementary school
children in the midwest, at the time. Their teacher and class give Tesla
busts to almost any museum who will display it, properly. Smithsonian
tries to ignore Tesla, entirely.

All this about Edison was makes me want to puke.....

The exhibit also had an electric wall clock showing visitors what time it
was. It used a Tesla synchronous AC motor off Tesla's multiphase AC power
system, too, but I failed to make a point of it...(c;

Well, we digress off subject, again. It wasn't my fault this time....
