This man is awesome! I also collect eccentric and unusual personalities. John Nash is my favorite. There was also this astronomer named Fritz Zwicky, who was very fond of symmetry. He often called his colleagues "spherical bastards" because "they are bastards any way you look at them". A sphere is symmetrical any way you turn it or view it. :lol: Fritz Zwicky
