#3That's one long read. A good one too. I wish there was an audio copy too.

#4Not the same interview, but a talk also covering his time at Los Alamos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTRVlUT665U

One of my collaborators recently wrote a paper about why beer coasters make bad frisbees.

#8Warning, this is a book-length article. Set aside hours.
It seems like much of the source material for what became "Surely...".

"He says, 'Feynman, that's pretty interesting, but what's the importance of it? Why are you doing it?'"
"'Hah!' I say. 'There's no importance whatsoever. I'm just doing it for the fun of it.' His reaction didn't discourage me; I had made up my mind I was going to enjoy physics and do whatever I liked."

It seems this article went into the second-chance pool, which is great! It didn't get much discussion last time around but might spurn a lot of interesting threads.
However, something I find a little upsetting: I commented the first time around (about 2 days ago). But currently the comments show that I commented first about 50 minutes ago. That's a little too much rewriting of history, if you ask me.
What's funny is that when I came to leave this reply, on the "Add comment" page, it correctly says that my first comment was 2 days ago. So this information IS available. So the timestamp is rewritten? @dang, seems a little too much ret-conny...
(It also makes me wonder what would happen if I visited the second-chance page before some of the other first-time comments were/are-going-to-be posted.)
