Date: 2011-06-02 04:40 pm (UTC)There's also a lovely Noether's story: halfway through one of her lectures, the rubber band of her underpants snapped and they started drifting downwards (remember, she was wearing skirts and stocking). She opened the door of the lecture room, kicked the bothersome indument away, closed the door and finished the lecture.
Of course when I proposed naming our lecture room after Emmy Noether, my colleagues refused.
