I am an information junky and tinkerer by nature.  I think Prof. Feynman and such folks see the world as I see it.  It's  a puzzle, busted radio, trip to the museum for our next adventure and information pick up.<br><br>Plus, he sees the academic world from the insise and still had the BALLS to call them out and point out their humanness and foibles.<br><br>I am about 90% self taught, ex-high school drop out who when still working had a team of people with masters degrees and PhD candidates working for me.  Some of them were as full if horse pucky as could be....just over those damned degrees!  Feynman found fault with such a system and pointed it out all the while done with humor.
