  He came up with sending powder in envelopes? That's news to me. The trick he played on Teller and then Teller seeing through it instantly, priceless.

    I didn't quite get the desk/paper thing -- was it continuous feed paper, so Feynman grabbed the end and pulled it all out?
    • jacquesm 11y ago
      No, he just kept on pulling and then another paper would be within reach until the drawer just about emptied. Similar to how folded napkins are all separate but you can pull one out of a container and then the next one will be pulled into place by the previous one. That's on purpose and this is accidental but the mechanism would be much the same.

    Even though I just re-read that excerpt (lovely book indeed), for a moment there I thought you were talking about Teller from Penn & Teller, and how much I'd love to see those three talking or playing tricks on one another :) (well, without Teller talking, obviously)

  That book is absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Lots of very interesting bits that made me laugh.

  That page is not available to me - I can see 113 and 115, but not 114. Can someone tell me what's about? Edit: Found a link for those that cannot see it either: http://litru.ru/book/?p=214644&page=24 http://litru.ru/book/?p=214644&page=24 . No idea why Google decided I cannot read that particular page.

    Maybe you exhausted your 'allowed page quota'.
