I'm naming my firstborn son after him. Really. fiercenailbunny: look around you. See all that usable eckletricity? He invented how to use it, along with radio, remote control, fluorescent lightbulbs....tons of stuff. Also he was good friends with Mark Twain, he was hot, and the "mad scientist" silliness was based on him because he was pretty severely OCD.
george washington carver? oh, come now, consider the following...
gwc: peanut butter
tesla: harnessing the cosmic rays and causing them to operate a motive device, "mad scientist", blasting a crater in siberia using fifteen megatons of the earth's own magnetic force ( the veracity of this is open to discussion ), wardenclyffe tower, and pretty much everything tesla ever did, which is synonymous with "sheer awesome".
Consider the following: GWC: peanut butter Tesla: no peanutbutter
Those other achievements look more like the result of hard work whereas peanutbutter could only have been the product of genius inspiration. And what's more awesome than peanutbutter?
you make a valid point with your last rhetorical question, but the answer is nevertheless... nikola tesla. he is consummate awesome.
peanutbutter, i believe, was carver's divine inspiration. he was simply the mouthpiece for some higher power bent on blessing the world. it was not of his doing, and by no means should we attribute its creation to him.

I think Tesla Coil (futurehusband'slastname) would be the most awesomely-named daughter ever.
...maybe.
George Washington Carver is out of the running, then?

i don't think there's much debate here.

What about "Pythagoras" if one dude did all the stuff ascribed to that name, he's gotta be a contender...
they don't teach us nearly enough about serbian inventors in american schools.
