I would've given one of sons Athos if my wife would've let me). btw... is your real name James? :-) I’m not saying Tesla is better than Protein Shake or whatever your guy’s name is (I admit Proteus is a great name — a middle name.

Plus, "Proteus" is the awesom-est middle name a guy could ever have. After "Stavro," of course. Google gave a homepage shout-out to Tesla for his birthday, which instantly made me hate the guy. Every time they do one of those shout-outs, my first reaction always is, "oh sure, you do a special page for <i>that,</i> but not for Easter?"

There scientists who will tell you today that the full extent of what Tesla knew and understood isn't known, even today.
