Not exactly true. He held *several* honorary doctorates, and is OFTEN
referred to as Dr. Tesla in writings that cite his work. You may
protest that in this case it is only an honorary title, but hey, if
anyone deserves to be so honored, it was Dr. Tesla.

[For those too young to remember, L.S.M.F.T. is from an old cigarette
ad campaign. It stands for Lucky Strikes Means Fine Tobacco. An
attempt at humor.]
