Richard Feynman on the Talmud[edit]

There is a part of this article that states that he considered the Talmud to be a wonderful book--probably out of a cursory examination of it. The reference to prove it does not point to the actual quote. https://books.google.com/books?id=7papZR4oVssC&dq=0393019217&q=284#v=onepage&q=284&f=false only has the pages surrounding it, but http://www.mamaland.org/2012/07/richard-feynman-on-talmud-fire.html has the quote. Page 285: "The Talmud is a wonderful book, a great, big potpourri of things: trivial questions, and difficult questions- for example, problems of teachers, and how to teach- and then some trivia again, and so on." I would add that reference but knowing how anal Wikipedians are I will not; it is a blog or something. It is very unlikely that the author of that post had the actual text from the book then made up stuff in the middle. --NoToleranceForIntolerance (talk)
