Take goalie co-captain Ellen Seidler. The Tacoma flash had no intention of playing field hockey. "My roommate freshman year was trying out for the team," sayd Seidler, "and I went along for the ride to see Coach Field. They were talking and I just blurted out, 'Maybe I should try out. I've used my feet in soccer, maybe I could play goal...
...Diego, Brown took his place at the head of a Columbus Day parade. With a red carnation nattily tucked in the lapel of a sober gray suit, he waved, shook hands and shouted, "How are ya?" or "Cómo estd?"

He imitates Cream lead singer Jack Bruce several times and in one of the oddest numbers, "Things Going On," he double-tracks his vocals and ends up sounding like Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash singing...
...small band of theorists who can follow Hawking's intricate equations say that they are complex, elegant and inspired. This is all the more remarkable because he is unable to write them down. He must remember them as they flash into his mind, a feat that his colleague Werner Israel says is equivalent to Mozart's having composed an entire symphony in his head...
