Nikola Tesla: Rockstar Scientist

155 years ago Nikola Tesla was born. His bold experiments, mind-boggling discoveries, and startling innovations changed our understanding of electricity forever. If he had been born 75 years later, when the first electric guitar was made, would we now be playing rock music on a bolt of lightning?

I like to think so.

As seen in Pete Oswald's artwork from Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Nikola Tesla is a rockstar scientist -- or perhaps the rockstar scientist.

I wish Sony Pictures Animation would get the hint, and make these posters available for purchase. Flint shouldn't be the only one allowed to hang it in his bedroom. Man, do I want one!
