I'm not determined enough to be bonkers

We watched a NOVA about the Piltdown Man, the greatest scientific fraud in history.
There are a handful of people that are suspected to have engineered the hoax, one of those was Martin Hinton. Apparently he's a likely character because he worked at the museum, had motives and was generally an odd chap. It was reported that he carried around a beaver's skull in his coat pocket for years.
That takes dedication.
Some mornings I can't even remember to put on deodorant, much less carry around a big rodent bone.
Conclusion: Crazy people are way more organized than I am.
