This one's based on a name from a 1970's board game that stuck in my head. Causes some double-takes.

Nicola Tesla (

Tesla thought it was possible to transmit electrical power through the air -sans wires- and eventually there will be a Tesla-style power- transmitting tower built atop the building.



Meanwhile, a small robot sits waiting on the loading platform as an homage to his amazingly advanced ideas.

Nope.

Since the politicians began running the schools, History has pretty much been considered superfluous.

No, I'm thinking Tuva. But, IIRC, they all played something.
