Oh yes, the "noble" Pythagoreans. Does this guy realize how retarded he sounds when he says that? I don't actually care either way, but... whatever.
One time Beethoven was giving a recital and he started to improvise. He must have sounded like an angel because everyone in the audience was in tears. Then all of a sudden, he stopped cold and turned and started laughing at them. I don't remember where I heard this anecdote, or even if it's true, but I love him for it.
