This quote hangs on my wall with an original Marconi stock certificate. It was a court ruling so I'm not sure how it could be argued otherwise In October of 1942, the United States Supreme Court entered into The Great Radio Controversy. Though the invention of radio had long been attributed to Guglielmo Marconi, the Supreme Court justices were intrigued by patent records and scientific publications which pointed to Nikola Tesla as radio’s true creator. In June of 1943, the Court decided that Nikola Tesla had, in fact, invented modern radio technology. Ruling that Marconi’s patents were invalid and had been “anticipated.” Tesla was vindicated – though far from victorious. Some five months earlier, alone and destitute in a New York hotel room, the great inventor had died. His papers and notes were seized by the United States Alien Property Office, and are now housed in the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade Yugoslavia.

<<So when you go into that phone booth as Moe, what do you come out as? A mathematician?>> It kind of depends what happens. I was sleeping tonight and I was having some real weird stuff happen. About 10 minutes ago I was overtaken with a metallic smell. When that happens I need to get up, take my meds (not meds like you're thinking - Epilepsy Meds) and then start piecing together what took place. This doesn't happen much but when it does there's a sign to be unraveled. Anyone reading this would say I'm strange unless they have a close relative with the same affliction. The key is the metallic smell - I don't know why but my Doctor does. When it happens I have to journal it, tell him what I was thinking when the smell overtook me and explain what I think it means. I was on a boat fishing with people I didn't know ( I think I can reason that out ) and my mom was there waiting in the cabin. My dad was there too (vocally) but he was dead. He kept saying to cast the three of pentacles and I don't know what that means. I always fish with a 5 of diamonds. Now I have to find out what a pentacle is and why the number 3 means something. Sorry for being a weirdo but epilepsy + metallic smells equal a potential future event. I slept but I'm exhausted and when I awakened I didn't know where I was. We've held all but the metallic smells in check for a while now. Those smells are like a crystal ball and carry a great deal of burden because they're almost never wrong. Folks - please don't think I'm a weirdo. Epileptics all over the world report the same things. My doctor, family and friends always ask about this and in some cases have come to rely on it. I'm not claiming to be Nostrildumbass but there is a direct corelation between metallic smells and future events if you can find the pieces to assemble the puzzle. temporal lobe epilepsy is known as the gifted curse. I could tell you personal stories that would blow your pants off
