    In New York, Tesla started to work for Edison. For a year he worked a shift from 10:30 A.M. one day to 5:00 A.M. the next day. The manager had promised him $50,000 when the job was completed, but Tesla found out the offer was a practical joke and he quit.

    999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 for the above.

    Plus the 50,000 Nikola was promised.
    Hmm. If he worked for Edison, then why wasn't he mentioned in the Edison biography I flipped through the other day? I think I'll add $2800 to the bill. (That's about how much it'll cost to go to the Sanctuary convention in Vancouver ) So: $2800 for being in biographies that don't mention Tesla!

    EDIT Site where I got the qoute from: http://thinkexist.com/quotes/nikola_tesla/
    Just checked this out and I found this one:

    My method is different. I do not rush into actual work. When I get a new idea, I start at once building it up in my imagination, and make improvements and operate the device in my mind. When I have gone so far as to embody everything in my invention, every possible improvement I can think of, and when I see no fault anywhere, I put into concrete form the final product of my brain.
    Sounds an awful lot like what I do with my stories. Takes me forever to write them down on paper/in Word because I'm writing and editing them in my head instead...who knew he did the same thing?

        Yeah, I'm always editing things to. That's why it takes me a long time, plus I tend to need to do a fair amount of research

          Yeah, I think I'll have to do a bit of research for the one I'm currently working on. But it'll be worth it! I'll make sure to give all of you the link

                Edison should also be charged for being born. So, 999,999,999,999,999,999 for that!
