Astoundingly Astute
"I am by nature a perfectionist, and I seem to have trouble allowing anything to go through in a half-perfect condition. So if I made any mistake it was in working too hard and in doing too much of it with my own hands."
– Howard Hughes describing his way of working and the mistakes made in building the "Spruce Goose."

It’s 2:48am and I’m still in front of my computer. I just finished watching the movie The Aviator and I was amazed by the foresight of the character Howard Hughes. I’ve never really heard of him prior to watching the movie so I surfed the net to look him up.
It’s just a shame that such talent and incredible gift was wasted by his self-destructive hypochondriasis and, as was portrayed in the movie (if it were, indeed, accurate), misophobia/mysophobia (fear of being contaminated with dirt or germs).
Nevertheless, his shrewd imagination is very much commendable.
