Scientists

[ Knowledge and learning ]
Another quote which made me laugh from Martel's Life of Pi (see last post)

Scientists, he says, "are a friendly, atheistic, hard-working. beer- drinking lot whose minds are preoccupied with sex, chess and baseball when they are not preoccupied with science".

Of course you have to account for cultural differences. substitute football (or soccer) for baseball and he's just about got the whole scientist thing summed up.
