My Surely Joking pattern is inspired by Richard Feynman (1918-1988), American physicist. Richard was known for his extraordinary creativity, which allowed him to make groundbreaking contributions. His teaching style — known for its clarity, creativity, and humor — trained a generation of scientists.

Richard’s diagrams revolutionized the way physicists think about particle interactions. His unique and engaging teaching style, which emphasized clear, intuitive explanations, inspired generations of students and fellow physicists alike.

And, he played the bongos.
