Record Player Ralph's grandmother called the Victrola, "The Talking Machine"  she was born in 1895.

 

I was born in 1947, and oftentimes, when I can't recall the name, I call the Airport, "The Plane Place"

 

There are other things I call equally silly names, but only because sometimes, my mind gets lazy to recall it.

 

DVDs,VCRS, CDS, I get them confused too.(well not VCRS.)

 

My favorite Uranian however, hands down, would have to be Nikola Tesla:

 

Mr. Tesla born July 10, 1856 had Uranus conj. his Ascendent in Taurus 24 degrees.(His AC was 26 deg.)

 

He had electricity coming out of his hands and fingers......no one could understand how he did these strange and remarkable things.

 

He wanted to provide ALL people with Free Electric, AC current.

 

As you know, instead  it costs a heap of money, as the Feds were able to shut him down.......and Westinghouse, took all of the patents, gratis, from Tesla.,and today Tesla is only a strange footnote in history books.

 

Please check out his photos........one Uranian, surely from Atlantis, or Lemuria, someplace most of us don't recall, but he must have.

 

 

THE FIRST ELECTRIC CHAIR (1890)

Yes, it was Thomas Edison who invented the electric chair to frighten people away from the use of Tesla's AC system of electricity.

BRAINWASHED

By this time the totally brainwashed reader is led to believe that our electrical world started with Mr. Edison at Menlo Park; then he finished electrifying America in 1895 by creating the Niagara Falls power station. Yet it was Tesla's nine basic U.S. patents that were used in that power plant's creation. Edison had no role in the project.\

Nikola Tesla was born at midnight between 9 and 10 July 1856 in the hamlet of Smiljan, then part of the Hapsburg Empire, now in Croatia. He was the fourth of five children born to Duka Mandic and Milutin Tesla, priest of the neighbouring Serbian Orthodox Church. Legend has it that thunder and lightning raged that night.

The Tesla household was a lively one. Duka, although never formally schooled, had a passion for European poetry, which she could recite at length thanks to her prodigious memory �?an attribute Nikola inherited. His mother was an endless source of inspiration to Nikola, who attributed all his abilities to her influence. The family traditionally sent its sons into the army or the clergy, but young Nikola was different.

He began inventing at an early age. At five, he built his own waterwheel, whose smooth sides differentiated it from the paddle wheels of the surrounding countryside. Another mill powered by June beetles looked promising until a friend ate Nikola’s entire fuel supply, a sight that caused the young inventor to be violently sick. His attempt to fly off a barn roof using an umbrella as a parachute was less successful, leaving him to be discovered, unconscious, by his mother. As an older child, he imagined himself transported through the air in a vacuum-powered flying machine �?he even built a small working prototype vacuum cylinder �?and constructing a huge water wheel at the base of the Niagara Falls. This much, at least, would prove a prophetic vision.

Family life was bucolic; the children shared their lives with farm animals, including a number of pigeons, but tragedy struck when Nikola was five. His 12-year-old brother Daniel, a hero to Nikola, died in an accident. Accounts differ �?he may have been killed by a favourite horse, or he may have fallen down some stairs. Nikola may even have been blamed for the fall. Whatever the case, Daniel’s loss deeply affected Nikola, who soon began to show signs of the hypersensitivity that would mark him out as an eccentric for the rest of his life. In middle age he wrote:

"I contracted many strange likes, dislikes and habits, some of which I can trace to external impressions while others are unaccountable. I had a violent aversion against earrings of women�?I would not touch the hair of other people except, perhaps, at the point of a revolver. I would get a fever looking at a peach and if a piece of camphor was anywhere in the house, it caused me the keenest discomfort." ("My Inventions", Electrical Experimenter, Feb–Oct 1919.) It seems likely that his phobias prevented Tesla from ever enjoying intimacy with others.

During a brief spell studying electrical engineering and mathematics at the Austrian Polytechnic School in Graz, the precocious Tesla developed a passion for Alternating Current and Voltaire. But he never gained his degree, possibly being expelled for dissolute behaviour. In 1882, following two lost years in Prague, Nikola’s family secured him a job at the Paris headquarters of the Edison Telephone Company. Here he did such a good job improving and repairing the engines at the company’s French and German power stations that he was presented with a personal letter of introduction to Thomas Edison himself. It read: "I know two great men and you are one of them: the other is this young man."

And so it was that, with only four cents, some technical diagrams and a book of his own poetry in his pocket, Tesla joined the great tide of immigration sweeping into America.

Uranus was in Taurus when Nikola Tesla was born

 

sorry, but any talk at all about Uranus, I think immediately of

Tesla, he is the consummate Uranian.,IMO.  None before,  him, (in our memory) and none since, like him.

 

Completely unique.

Looks like Lois Rodden's site has a chart for him too:

(Others say on the forum, he should have Uranus right on the ASC)

it's possible?.......depending upon the real time of birth.
