I like Feynman. He has the most interesting stories about the most random things. Like communicating with his wife through coded messages and picking safe locks at Los Alamos or something (It's been a while since I read the book I have on him).

Yes he did both, I recently read a book about him (all in his own words)

I would like to be a teacher like Feynman :)

His Messenger lectures are on Youtube. They are excellent and show his style of teaching.

There was one story about how people believed the planets moved because of angels flapping their wings in a certain way. He explained that science has discovered it not to be true that they flapped them differently.
