Nice story about Paul Erdos, mathemetician and coffee-user. From Brad delong out of conspirator Jacob Levy.
He fuelled his efforts almost entirely by coffee, caffeine tablets and Benzedrine. He looked more frail, gaunt and unkempt than ever, and often wore his pyjama top as a shirt. Somehow his body seemed to thrive on this punishing routine.
Because of his simple lifestyle, Erdos had little need of money.
That's the life for me.
