Not even the tiniest bit. Don't worry, it makes the Merrick crazy too.”

Newton was solitary and reclusive, even vain and vindictive in his later years when he was president of the society.”
“Charles Darwin got totally hammered, woke up next to a monkey and decided he had to come up with a theory to make it all okay.”
