I was a kid and a neighbor of the Feynman's while he was already in his well-tenured life at Caltech. I'll never forget one night while I was walking in the neighborhood with my dad (a Caltech PhD) and I was reciting the Greek alphabet for a test the next day. I was on Epsilon when I heard around a dark corner someone say "Zeta" as Feynman smiled and came into view -- he was walking with his same age son...

I think he was one of the few who could actually educate you about physics, and you would understand it(i'm not saying you "know" it but you would understand what is going on)

he's awesome

Reminds me of René Magritte's "La Reproduction Interdit".
NOt much science in it...he said it himself. You don't have to PhD to know that...
If you think of the reflex in the mirror as another person, you're dumb.
"MOmmy, the mirror won't shake my hand the right way!" BAD MIRROR, BAD! ::(|)
