We all know people who do some very strange things. There is someone in our life, or maybe many people, who do something we consider insane or weird. Here are some interesting facts about people whom you probably have heard of.
James Joyce- A writer, he always carried a tiny pair of lady bloomers, which he waved in the air to show approval.
Benjamin Franklin- He sat, naked, in front of an open window. He called it an air bath and claimed it was for his health.
Alexander Graham Bell- He covered the windows in his house to keep out the rays of the full moon. He also tried to teach his dog to talk.
D.H. Lawrence- He enjoyed shedding his clothes and climbing mulberry trees.
(Asimov, 1997; Weeks & James, 1995)
However, none of these men were considered crazy. In fact, they are known for their remarkable actions. Perhaps we should all start a strange behavior and, maybe, we will be geniuses too!
