"If you could meet any famous person, dead or alive, who would it be, and why?"

Readers, Nikola Tesla. Nikola Tesla, readers.

Nikola Tesla is the guy who invented the alternating current (aka electricity, the thing that powers your microwaves so you can have Hot Pockets and instant coffee for breakfast every morning). The reason I'd like to meet him: he's my favorite scientist of all time. Cheated out of a fortune by Thomas Edison, he continues to be one of the most famous scientists to date. (And yes, he is the guy who invented the Tesla Coil.)

Not to mention he's extremely aesthetically pleasing, but that's for another post. //nervous laughter;
