A nice gift from my friend, fellow hockey fan and Dexter’s Lab enthusiast Ben! His ears must’ve been burning since I recently caught the Stuff You Should Know podcast about Tesla’s contributions, namely how his AC electrical standard with Westinghouse beat out Edison’s DC for the World’s Fair. You didn’t think I’d be caught dead wearing a shirt plugging the silly hair-rock band from the Eighties? I actually saw them open for Def Leppard in 1987, they were OK but I didn’t care for their public bashing of Marconi.
Tesla: “Edison… get out of my labooooratory!!!”
Edison: “That’s all you can say! That’s all you can say!!”
