Sometimes weirdness can be a sign of genius. Look at Tesla. Talk about a weird cat.

He wouldn't eat from serving cup whose cubic capacity was not evenly divisible by 3.

He wouldn't touch the hair of another person's hair because other people's hair disgusted him--even women's.

Hated to pass under bridges because, he said, the air pressure was greatly increased under the bridge causing his scalp to hurt unbearably.

He continued to send checks to his friend, Mark Twain, three decades after the man's death.

Stonewall Jackson was weird. Among his many idiosyncarasies was his habit of walking with his left hand (could have been his right, I forget) held up in front of him as though greeting someone. He claimed this was essential for his balance. As a boy, I once saw Confederate paper currency that showed Jackson topping a wall as Union soldiers opened fire on him. Jackson had his saber drawn in one hand and the other was raised similar to the way Hitler would return a Nazi/Roman salute--arm bent at the elbow, palm flat facing forward, fingers extended straight up. It looked like Jackson was greeting the soldiers that were trying to kill him and I never understood that etching until years later when I read about his weird walking habit.
