The Oatmeal Helps New Tesla Museum Raise One Million Smackers

#SuryaRay #Surya The Oatmeal, who really should freaking start making comics and stop helping museums in Long Island that no one thought about until a week ago, just announced that he and the Internet raised $100 million to support the purchase Nikola Tesla’s old laboratory on Long Island. In 9 days, we managed to raise over 1 million dollars to go towards buying back Tesla’s old laboratory, and with the $850,000 matching grant from NY state this puts us at 1.85 million bucks. At its peak, the campaign was raising $27,000 per hour, crashing Indiegogo, and probably setting some kind of land speed record in awesomeness. http://dlvr.it/232FgL @suryaray
