A short note about Albert Einstein

FWIW, Paul Erdos, the mathematician, was even wackier. You'll want to add him to your list of great thinkers to research:

"A mathematical genius of the first order, Paul Erdös was totally obsessed with his subject--he thought and wrote mathematics for nineteen hours a day until the day he died. He traveled constantly, living out of a plastic bag, and had no interest in food, sex, companionship, art--all that is usually indispensable to a human life." (Oliver Sacks)

You won't be alone, Leon. Terry Jones (ex Monty Pythoner) has a book out:

"Strange Stains and Mysterious Smells"

Richard Feynman's book - "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" - has a story of how he decides on one flavour of ice cream (vanilla I believe) so he never has to make that decision again...

The same can definitely not be said about Don Box et al.
