Howard Hughes

I watched a special on Howard Hughes on the History Channel. What a genius, and a true aviator. His companies revolutionized the airplane industry, the military, the space program, etc. His companies are still on the forefront of technology. His OCD would be treatable today. Sad ending, but what a legacy.

I heard he had a taste for the male gender as well. Probably a rumor though, maybe like Michael Jackson's nose is real???

I also recommend watching the movie The Aviator if you haven't already.

I just saw that movie the other night on DVD and i think Leo played Howard really well.
I had no idea Howard had the health problems he had or "what ever you want to call it" until i saw the movie.

It's called "Obsessive Compulsive Behavior" and it's the same type of condition that is afflicting all of us here in this forum.
