Thanks a lot, Pan
My daughter madelineusher , who spends a lot more time exploring this system of tubes than I do, clued me in to this article on nine real-life mad scientists. Our old pal Jack Parsons is number eight -- second in the article, as they're counting down. Given it's a humor piece, they don't do a bad job of summing up his life, despite little goofs like saying Parsons practiced "the Thelema". The other eight mad scientists also make for fun reading. Enjoy.
