I've been reading some of Tesla's writings lately. Dude was weird.  No coffee, no sex (EVER), and he had weird flashes where he saw himself in different places.

That sounds like a very enlightening read.

Trust me, having both doesn't mean one DOESN'T invent death rays.

I mean...so I've heard....there is this friend of mine....I mean, one could easily...It's not REALLY a death ray...

Ah, hell.  KNEEL BEFORE ZOD.

Supposedly he claimed Martians were talking to him later in life?  Dude was a genius, but the cheese had slid off his cracker by the end.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

How do you know the Martians didn't talk to him? Did they tell you different?....

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

I can't say they weren't talking to him.  If I did it would just be an educated gauss.
