Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! As the subtitle indicates, Prof. Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988), Nobel Prize laureate for physics in 1965 for "... fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles", was a most curious character indeed. After all, have you ever heard of another professor of physics that is an expert in lockpicking and safe cracking, had Playboy Playmates pose nude for his paintings, and played in the Carnival in Rio?
