1) How can you read about Dr. Tesla's Earthquake causing machine and not become immensely excited? Every time I read about the man's inventions and the possibilities of what could have been, I nearly soil my pants.

2) The thread is currently about historical figures, the title will eventually reflect that.

I was going to make a thread called "Rarely Talked About But Entirely Awesome Historical Figures", but decided to call it "The Most Excitingest Thread Ever" in your honor and to attempt to turn today's seriousness into a bit of levity. I also thought it would be amusing to put the eventual thread title in the thread title, as a play on the common practice of putting the previous thread titles in the thread title of threads that undergo a title change.
