How To Be Creative

Perhaps this is why Stephen Hawking goes to strip clubs (http://www.inquisitr.com/198893/stephen-hawking-loves-strip-clubs-and-the-universe/)

"It isn't until we're soothed in the shower or distracted by teh stand-up comic that we're able to turn the spotlight of attention inward, eavesdropping on all those random associations unfolding in the far reaches of the brain's right hemisphre...This research also explains why so many major breakthroughs happen in the unlikeliest of places, whether it's Archimedes in the bathtub or the physicist Richard Feynman scribbling equations in a strip club, as he was known to do.  It reveals the wisdom of Google putting ping-pong tables in the lobby and confirms the practical benefits of daydreaming."
