ISAAC NEWTON (1642–1727)

Another strange scientist who changed the world with his genius, Newton gave us his Laws of Motion, the binomial theorem, and calculus. Reclusive, quirky, mindless of his personal cleanliness, he seldom spoke and was so obsessed with his work that he would forget to eat.

THELONIUS MONK (1917–1982)

Known as the high priest of bebop, this pianist and composer revolutionized jazz with his original compositions.

He spoke in a bizarre medley of grunts and random philosophical mutterings.
