Great minds who have great idea and achieve great things are often  
crackpots too. The line between madness and genius may not actually  
exist...

Hans Reiser's antics are infamous in the Linux community, for example.

Or how about Isaac Newton, discoverer (not inventor!) of gravity and  
thus classical mechanics, so a clear-thinking scientist, no? Well, he  
was deeply religious and wrote much more about the Bible than physics.  
He was also heavily into alchemy. Discovering gravity was really just  
a lucky strike in a mind full of all sorts of bizarre ideas.
