– Nikola Tesla is alleged to have invented a ‘Temporisoscope,’ a device capable of transmitting information from the future, potentially including sports results and stock market data.

– FBI confiscated Nikola Tesla’s papers after his death, and they were analyzed by John G. Trump, uncle of Donald Trump, creating a metaphorical link between Biff’s almanac and the Trump family.
