Someone you probably didn't learn about in high school

Everynow and then I like to educate people about on of the most inventive person of the last century. Most of his work is attributed to other people, and unless you've gone to college you probably never even heard of him. His name is Nicola Tesla, a genius so far ahead of his time it's not even funny.

Here is a short blurb on him.

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle" - Sun Tzu in reference to his five points of victory.

If your ever in Belgrade Serbia you should visit the Tesla museum. With the right bribe you might even get access to the second floor. 8)
