Do normal people hope for a red light so they can jot down the next brilliant idea? Do normal people get out of bed at 3 AM to go find the notepad they forget to put next to the bed??? <br /><br />Of course not! Only totally insane, er, I mean, brilliant people would do all of that!<br /><br />In the end, we're a bit nutty!
