Hedy Lamarr

I suppose this datum is so famous that it's almost "Not Weird" anymore. But just in case you hadn't heard:

Famed movie beauty Hedy Lamarr was also a brainiac who invented a brilliant bit of communications technology. You can read the details in her Wikipedia entry.

You'll see her in the clip below in her famous nude scene from ECSTASY. I suppose it's NSFW, if you work in church basement or someplace similar.

If only all scientists looked like this!

This clip has an interesting lesson to teach us: if you're going to go skinny-dipping, do not entrust your clothes to a horny horse.
