Ha ha ha... That has been a gimme for years. Sir Isaac Newton had his furniture nailed to the floor so they wouldn't float up or be stolen and Albert Einstein had on occasions showed up to class wearing no shoes, only his socks... Their behaviors were odd to say the least. Where would we be today if our past was not filled with tortured geniuses and their brilliant creations and insights? If we ever solved their mental conditions would our societies also halt in its progress? Do not these people create our civilisation while the rest of us are here to do the upkeep and basic maintanance? We have always needed people who can jump from one mountain top to the next while we, the rest of us, have to walk the whole distance.
