See here. Matthew Inman, of the Oatmeal, has launched an Indiegogo campaign along with a charitable foundation that has been trying to obtain the land upon which Wardenclyffe Tower was constructed.

Nikola Tesla's last lab still stands there.

If they don't get it, it may be torn down and replaced with a retail outlet or some other useless pile of consumerist garbage.

The father of the modern era deserves a museum. Where better to put it than the former site of his final dream - free energy for all?

(Note: I found the campaign at 5:59 PM PST. It was at $120 000. It is now 6:27 PM PST. The campaign is at $140 000.)

A museum for the rockstar scientist. I'm okay with this.

Holy shit.

The campaign has been running for 6 hours and 40 minutes.

It is past 25%.

$213 558 out of $850 000.

In less than seven hours.

I think the world is on its way to getting an amazing place built.grin

Not exactly sure if this'll work with me. :/ Kickstarter doesn't. At least, there's no payment method I'm usually able to use. >.>

I think this stuff allows Paypal.

If you have Paypal linked to your debit card, it should work.

When I started out with Paypal, I had it linked directly to my bank account. Then that stopped working for some reason (maybe it was that big screwup with Half.com), and I had to get it linked to my debit card.

"If you donate $33,333 I will write a blog post about you, your company, or your product on The Oatmeal.com." 1 of 3 claimed.

Also, all 40 of the posters signed by the one guy left who's related to Tesla have been claimed for a thousand dollars each, as well as all 50 $500 mugs.
