well found Ian.. Feynman was one of my heroes and a total genius.. the way he explained things was amazing... I took the whole physics / maths / theoretical physics route because of him.... If anyone gets the chance his books are outstanding....

btw. Long ago I had a dream that he was wearign a suit and playing the bongoes. In the dream I asked him why he was wearing a suit. He said thats what they wore where he was. i told all my geeky friends the next morning and they all called me a hippy. The next day news broke that he had died two nights previously...

that was my one of my best 'fuck you Richard Dawkins' moments

He was my Father-in-law's roommate at MIT.
He told me he did all his math in his head - including
the likes of Theory of Relativity.

dont forget the lock picking and the trips to tanu tuva for drunken drugged up throat singing analysis ..truly the progenitor of all gonzo physicists ...

I used to read his books as a child. really entertaining stuff.

Thing that I always appreciated most was his IQ was 124 (and he was happy to boast that). A man who's raw intellect wasn't exceedingly high, suggesting his genius lied more in his wonder, enthusiasm, and creativity than his intellectual brawn.
