Fantastic story.
He's a nature man. Afraid of pearls. Eidetic memory. What else?
Almost died, several times. Never married. Probably not victim or aggressor. Best friends with Mark Twain. Used an earthquake machine to relieve Twain's bowels.
Famous inventor. Hated Edison. Blamed Mark Twain's work for his recovery from illness. What else? Graduated a year early from college. Perfected his first year college school.
Took it personally when his father made a joke about it. Gambled all his money away, made it back, gambling, gave it to his family, because obviously he ought not be trusted. "conquered his passion there". Burnt himself out. Never graduated college. Faked his death to avoid shame.
Worked as a draftsman. Suffered a nervous breakdown. Returned home because he didn't have a residence permit. Taught school.
He was an electrician. Did that kind of thing. Then somebody noticed him, and he go put into engineering. Yada yada. Source wikipedia and other trivia I learned over the years.
Literally insane, probably about as much as me. Go figure. What is his type.
Oh yeah, he hated the edison period, saying they mocked him for his edumacation. Ironic in today's period.
Anything else? I forget. Got sidetracked on sunspots and predicting coronal mass ejections. If you have a way, please do tell.
