Actually it was the stage play I saw last night that comes back to mind and makes me laugh.

QED is an abbreviation for a number of things, like 'quod erat demonstrandum', a Latin phrase used at the end of a definitive proof. Or 'quantum electrodynamics', a field of physics, and it also happens to the title of a book by Richard Feynman who did ground breaking work in the field and now it is the title of the play about him. The brilliance of his work goes without saying, but the talent of the man truly came from the fact that he never became so full of himself, nor did he allow the elitist atmosphere he worked in to do it to him. He enjoyed his life and lusts to the utmost and went to where his exceptional mind took him, but above all else, he was a 'teacher'. Rather than 'reading from on high to the lesser', he broke some rather heady concepts down to comprehendible explanations in lectures that are viewed all over the world today by people in the field. He was a vibrant man that wanted to share EVERYTHING with everybody and truly enjoyed doing it. He liked having fun!

That's what made me laugh today.




(btw- I understand he couldn't spell for shit either.)
