Default Re: Nikola Tesla

The story of the removal of Nikola Tesla's paperwork only adds to the mystery.

In The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul by Douglas Adams, there is an author who requests live chickens to be delivered to his hotel room -- and a member of his entourage whose job it is discreetly to get rid of the chickens. Meanwhile, his readers can only speculate wildly on what he does with them .....

An over-eager cleaner might have removed the paperwork. Less likely, though not inconceivable, is a break-in. (How would you fence Tesla's research notes?) The Government would never admit to involvement even if it were true, so of course the rumours are going to be denied. And for want of any concrete information, wild speculation begins .....
