Found this story on yahoo....

10 Crazy Facts about Howard Hughes
http://entertainment.tv.yahoo.com/ent...110415960046.html

...and thought some of these sounded like some folks here....

(1) This is up there with TGM's hatred of the small french fries...
"When dining out, Howard always ordered: steak, potatoes and peas. But he carried a special utensil, which resembled a tiny rake, to remove the littlest peas."

(2) And I can imagine overly sensitive AC doing this...
"During his stays at the Desert Inn in Vegas, he made the chef cut each piece of chocolate cake he ordered into an exact square, which he checked with a ruler. If they weren?t square, he sent them back."

Just an interesting tidbit...

I stayed in Howard Hughes' house for the 4th of july weekend in palm springs. I dont know how a neat freak germ guy would be able to stay in that place. we found 2 scorpions and a lizard in the shower. Very cool modern architecture and furniture tho. And the pool wouldve been bitchen for skating too.

As an aside, I have never heard before, but how did Hughes "lose it"? Was it effects from an STD? Drugs? What?

i think it was just how he was... genius and madness aren't always that far apart... also once you have enough money/power-- people are unlikely to tell you you're acting kinda weird-- well, a lot of times things just go downhill from there. Noone wants their ticket on the gravy train canceled, so they're gonna indulge whatever neuroses the bossman displays. This leads to him not realizing he's kinda getting out there a bit and so on and so forth.

Hughes was also a junkie. He would get blood transfusions, ala Keith Richards, BUT, he would only use Mormon blood, since they don't indulge in sinful vices.

Seriously.

He would also only have Mormons working in close contact with him, as he thought that they were reliably germ-free.

funny thing is: with most Mormons being from Utah is..

..is that during the 50's when they would conduct above-ground testing at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site, they would only perform those test when the wind was blowing towards Utah. Thus, people from Utah (at the time) had the highest rate of cancer of anyone in the country. And we call them The Downwinders.

hope that Mormon blood did him well.

He probably knew that and counted on the radiation to further exterminate microbes and germs.
