Hee! She's a friend of my sister! It's entirely untrue, by the way.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Personally, I think the fight over AC vs. DC might have been more interesting, but that all went down when he was like 40.
They can fictionalize that part. In fact, they can fictionalize it to the point where Tesla and Edison go at each other with live electric wires (AC and DC, of course).
I love the fact that Edison used to electrocute dogs on stage to demonstrate the evils of AC. (Of course, I am using an unusual definition of "love" here.)

Well, that's what my sister tells me. But "they're just friends" can be interpreted in any number of ways, can't it? Apparently, not to gossip or anything (hah!), he did fancy her quite a bit and she had to gently point out that she didn't fancy him quite as much.

You do know that the UK has a different age of consent, right? They're not doing anything illegal over there.
The resources I was able to find indicated that 16 + 23 = jailtime in Britain if the parents press the issue. But if the relationship isn't, no worries.

You could get married at age 16 when I lived in London. I checked ageofconsent.com (why isn't that blocked at work?), and they quote:
Age of consent for sexual activity
The legal age of consent for sexual activity is sixteen (16) years, but eighteen (16) years for homosexual males.
Age of consent for marriage
The legal age of consent for marriage is sixteen (16) years.
There's more here

The legal age of consent for sexual activity is sixteen (16) years, but eighteen (16) years for homosexual males.
Looks like they're trying to generate some sexual ambivalence here.

Or else 16 is eighteen in gay-years.

The age of consent got equalised for homosexual males a couple of years back. And as far as I know, once you're sixteen, you can do what, or rather who, you like, regardless of parental consent.
