secretGeek.netA short note about Albert Einstein
Final thought for the day, taken from the book "Creative Intelligence"
Einstein went so far as to use one type of soap for everything so that he could focus his energies on more important matters.
Umm? Way to go, Einstein.
Yes. Must remember this piece of trivia for my planned encyclopaedic tome, "Bathing Habits of the Great Thinkers."

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.
