Here's something I didn't know:

[From boingboing:]

The late Claude Shannon is recognized as the father of
information theory, but he was also a juggling enthusiast (he liked to
juggle and ride his unicycle up and down the halls of Bell Labs), as
well as an animatronic maker. My mind is reeling after watching this
movie clip of his juggling robots. It's my pick for "Wonderful Thing"
of the week.
