* Here are instructions for anyone who wishes to perform a little science experiment on the subject:
{{quote| Get off TVAll The Tropes for a bit and step into that weird and overly bright place called '[[Real Life|Outside]]'.<br />
Proceed to the nearest bookshop. Experiment works best if you have some money with you. If not, Plan B.<br />
Locate and buy a copy of his book, ''Surely You're Joking, Mr Feynman!''.<br />
Having bought/loaned/stolen your own copy, find somewhere comfortable to read. Keep a notebook handy.<br />
[[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|Apply optical organs and cerebral matter to the complex patterns of melanic ink printed upon the solidified xylous pulp]].<br />
Put a tick on the notepad whenever the book [[Unusual Euphemism|doses you up on nitrous oxide]].<br />
Count the number of ticks.<br />
Come back and fill in this entry. That's Feynman. }}
** I've read through the book; the first part is extremely jestful and humorous, though the last five chapters seem to be more serious about Feynman's philosophy. I do find the book quirky and very enjoyable.
