I enjoyed reading his biography, and agree that he didn't get all the credit he deserved, but man, the Tesla foundation are (were) a group with way too much time on their hands.

I've never heard of the foundation. Couldn't they invent something rather than sitting around all day looking at his portrait?

I read about the foundation or society in the book "Tesla: man out of time". They are now defunct, but they were pretty much hero worshippers.
OTOH, I didn't know it was Tesla's birthday, but I did know it was Sofia Vergara's. And I call myself a scientist.

Whoa Sofia. Hail Colombia.
I like the video with the snakes!
