I'm sitting on the porch, reading, and one of the birds swoops by me and settles into the nest. The *one* time I don't have any sort of camera with me. It knew, didn't it? *grin*

Star Fleet Academy Diploma.

I really, really want this. Good thing I'm a completley unabashed geek, isn't it? :D

The Oatmeal knows how amazing Nikola Tesla was. Also how much of an ass Edison was.

Sing it, The Oatmeal!

Tesla has the last laugh, though -- Edison will never ever be played by someone as awesome as David Bowie.

the birds: yes, they know ; I blame their laser vision

the diploma : oh, dear (dashes off to forward link to startling number of friends who are about to discover they need such a thing)

Tesla: Yes, he was all that (and crazier than his magic pigeon, too) ... but A/C doesn't quite rule the electrical universe.

The thing is, I really feel like you should, a least, have to go through a bunch of online quizzes or something in order to EARN the diploma!

*grin* I am so with you on that. But, I think I've watched enough Star Trek:Various Shows to pilot a starship. Or at least blow things up like Worf. *Grin*

Shhhh...

Edison was a lot like Steve Jobs

I have one of those diplomas hanging on the wall, next to my certificate that says there is a star named "Jette" (a small red dwarf in the paw of Ursa Minor). My husband knows I am a geek.

The earthquake machine was not replicable by the Mythbusters, though. And they really, REALLY wanted to.
