Aside from his obvious geek credentials (inventing the programmable computer), Babbage was extraordinarily nerdy when it came to his everyday life. He is said to have walked around a factory counting broken window panes before writing a study called a 'Table of the Relative Frequency of the Causes of Breakage of Plate Glass Windows'. Using his remarkable powers of deduction, Babbage concluded that 14 were broken by "drunken men, women or boys". He also baked himself in an oven at over 100 degrees Celsius to "see what would happen".
