Nikola Tesla, whose name ranks with Edison and Marconi as one of the greats in the history of electricity. Studied birds in the local woods, and then jumped from the roof of the family barn clutching an umbrella...convinced he could fly!
This line of research was abandoned after he spent six weeks in traction!!

ReplyDeleteI'm so funny.
Unless you do something stupid, you will never learn what being smart is about!
ReplyDeleteG MAN!!!!!

WaaaaaaHHHHH I wanna see Mrs G !!!!!
Galen, who don't you post us your wedding picture?
I wanna see You and Mrs G getting married!!!
I love it! Informative and funny all at the same time. Fabulous 55
ReplyDeleteMine's up.
That was a great 55, Galen. And a life lesson to boot. :D
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere shannigans were pulled to give Tesla the shaft on a patent, or something like that- which resulted in him not getting the fame or fortune he might have had...
ReplyDeleteOh, and mine's up! :D
ReplyDeleteIf you like reading this type of thing then you should know that James Goodman does a Darwin Award post every Wednesday...they are great!
ReplyDeleteGreat 55! Have a beautiful weekend!
Tesla.
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen them.
Yeah, I did.
With Motley Crue, Joe Satriani, Bonham, and Johnny Crash at Alpine Valley at a metal festival. Around 1990, maybe.
GREAT show.
We took my little brother.
He was, like, 11 at the time.
He ditched us to go and hang-out with the guys from Sweet Cybil.
At 11.
They filmed the vid for 'Same Old Situation' at that show, the Crue.
And now Tommy Lee is on a reality show with Ludacris.
I like Luda.
Tomorrow is Saturday.
But, today is Friday and my 55 is now up.
Just for you, Gayland.
Cos you always ask so nicely.
=P
You just don't hear of many people like that these days. It is kind of like dyeing out. Then again it sounds like Tesla came close too. Nice 55 G. I am up, better late then never.
ReplyDeleteYeah like when my dad took our slide off the ladder half then built a big ramp from the ladder half and we climbed to the top of ladder then put on skis and ski down the ramp half? It was fun to a point but man if you fell off the top it was a long way down and your ribs hurt for like a week or better! lol Good one hun thanks HUGS have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a dumh ass. I guess someone had to try it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being the man, Gman. I havent done a 55, I have some real life issues .....
ya, i want to see Mrs. Galen
ReplyDeletewithout a burqa too...
(why, is that what
she normally wears??)
and ya, i wanna see
you and Mrs. Galen
getting married too!
come on G-manster!
"...no matter how smart you are, you can still do stupid shit!"
ReplyDeleteAint that the truth. I'll get one up later this evening.
Happy Weekend, G-man!
ReplyDeleteIsn't Tesla the real inventor behind Edison? Isn't Tesla a rock band from Iceland or something? Isn't stupid is as stupid does? Don't you love comments that are all questions?
ReplyDeleteIntriguing AND informative!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the instructions. My first-ever "FRIDAY 55" is up - at THE MANE POINT.
Look for "ZERO TO FIFTY-FIVE."

That was fun! Can I play again next week? ;-)
Blessings,
Linda
Nickers and Ink
Yep, you can have an incredible IQ and be incredibly stupid!
ReplyDeleteI wrote a Flash 55 on the post prior to the piece I wrote about my mom. If you get a chance, come on over and read it. It's called "Hues." I may do another. Fun.
Donnetta
Okay, G-man: I did another 55. Didn't quite get it in there for Friday--Saturday morning. Will do better next time. This one is called
ReplyDelete"Saint."
Donnetta
Very nice one, G Man!
ReplyDeleteHappy Gayland Sunday!!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Galen I passed on your message to Queenie today, and she asked it I would comment on your blog to say that she misses you and everyone else and will be back blogging as soon as her Mum is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteplaying catch up again...
ReplyDeleteyour son is cute... does he have all the girls queueing at his door
this 55 was clever, but the previous one about the passion of blogging waning was spot on! ab brill
hope the weekend's being good to you
