    They put the guy who bathed his feet in the toilets at Atari and died trying to cure cancer with smoothies next to Einstein

      one of the tech guru’s go-to stress relievers during the early days of Apple was to head to the company toilets and soak his bare feet in the toilet water. In fact, the guy had a little bit of a hygiene problem — Isaacson also revealed how Jobs was put on the night shift while he worked at game-maker Atari because he rarely bathed and would walk around the office in his bare feet

        okay so what are the mechanics of this? is he... sitting on the floor and then putting his feet up and over the rim of the toilet bowl? is he standing in the toilet? did he bring a chair into a stall?

          maybe he's sitting on the tank? idk but this sounds so disgusting. Maybe his cancer came from chronic Hep C from doing this or something.

        Oh, I misremembered and kind of mashed the two together. I thought that was an Atari thing.

      the fact that you said "next to" instead of "below" made me cackle like a hyena when I scrolled up and saw Jesus
