Did Nikola Tesla really castrate himself, |
|
or is that just a myth?
I can't find anything on snopes or google, but it's a pretty common myth (or knowledge?). Does anybody know?

One human out of 7 billion; half of which are likely to be male; and each male has billions of viable sperm.
Trust me. Humanity is likely not at any loss because he chopped off his goolies with a DIY kit...

3. I've read a lot about Tesla . . . |
|
His is one of the great untold stories of science (i.e. how he was bascially screwed over by Thomas Edison). But I've never read that he castrated himself. I'm betting its a myth.

5. Are you sure you're not talking about Alan Turing? |

Turing was "chemically castrated", which actually involves a non-permanent drug treatment that reduces production of testosterone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing

6. You're thinking of the old band Tesla... |

In concert as part of their encore they would castrate volunteers from the audience live on stage...
