The Absent-Minded Professor!

It seems that we all love ‘absent-minded’ stories!  Is it my imagination or do folks seem to link these stories with MATH professors?  Well in this case, it would certainly be justified.

Norbert Weiner was a  20th century Professor of Mathematics at MIT (and he was actually born in Columbia, MO!)  All sorts of ‘absent-minded’ type stories are told of him!!  Three of my favorites stretch the limits of believability, but all seem to have gained some credibility – though one never knows for sure, I suppose.  To see all three stories, visit Absent-Minded Professor.
