I like the anecdotes about quirky logicians and I thought I'd share one... I was taking a logic class with Leonard Adleman (the A in RSA). I was doing pretty poorly in the class (not good at proofs) but he was pretty helpful and he asked why I was taking the class. I mentioned that I took a philosophy of language class that I liked and then he asked what I thought of Wittgenstein. I said that I'm interested in all that stuff but I understand Wittgenstein the least. Prof. Adleman pretty much agreed and said that he didn't get Wittgenstein. I told him I was worried about passing the class and he asked me if I'd be ok with a C- and I said yeah... Best C- of my academic experience!
