Have you ever noticed how creative/famous people often seem to have unusual habits? I have been mentally compiling a list of these folks for years and am guessing that the very part of their brains that give them the ability to think outside the box is also involved in giving them their special little quirks.
Ripley (of Believe It Or Not fame) had one of the largest private automobile collections in the world,but never learned to drive. Leo Fender of Fender guitar never learned to play the guitar. David Cameron (Prime Minister) gives speeches with a full bladder to focus his mind. ( I have tried this before I heard about it (not for speeches) and it not only narrows your focus it also makes you quick!) Margaret Thatcher,Napoleon,Florence Nightingale and Thomas Edison got by on 4-5 hours sleep a night (this really doesn't work for me). Too many authors to mention had various sexual quirks. Charles Richter (Richter scale) and his wife were both nudists and frequented naturist camps throughout California. He was also an amateur novelist and poet. It has also been suggested that he engaged in multiple extramarital affairs. (Seems to be a reoccurring theme with the creative types.) On the other end of the scale (no not the Richter scale!) Franz Kafka was extremely self conscious and said to have loathed sex. No pigeon holing these people!
