Nicola Tesla



Intel claims to have "invented" over the air electricity... suck it bitches, this crazy Croat had that going on while your grandpappy was still in diapers. Plus he was played by David Bowie in "The Prestige" so how effing cool does that make him? So happy birthday to another misunderstood genius. If only they had the math you needed to make the world believe.

Billy Mays



No, I'm not a sap. This guy was a badass and his show Pitchmen really showed that he enjoyed what he did and that helping people made him happy. Not my cup o' tea (making people happy), but I give him crazy props. He should have been up here sooner, but I've been slacking on this blog... you'll be ok.

EDIT: Oh nose! Coroner's report says the Colombian Cola was a contributing factor in his passing. Stay off the blow, kids.

2nd Edit: the family had a separate autopsy performed and their guy says coke wasn't a factor... I still advocate avoidance.
