    Cohen's book looks interesting, so I ordered it.

    I'm now reading Gleick's short biography of Isaac Newton, who was a
    very weird guy.

    Not just weird but deeply unpleasant.

    Which explains why he never had a girlfriend.

    For every weird man there is an equally weird woman, and vice versa.

    He took a vow of chastity, as required to be a Fellow of Trinity
    College. Probably more interested in math than marriage.

    But he did have a close relationship with the male Swiss mathematician
    Nicolas Fatio De Duillier, and was distressed for quite while after it
    ended.

    Nicolas Fatio De Duillier has come up here before - he seems to have
    been the first person to come up with what is now known as the Le Sage
    theory of gravity (which can't be made to work but Jan Panteltje likes).
