5 - I said this when this article was posted before...
you people may think he's stupid for not taking the money, but I admire him for that. He loves his work and simply wants to create something for other people to enjoy and learn from.

You know it's a really sad time to be living in when greed is praised and determination and dedication is shunned.

6 - What's wrong with wanting to be compensated for your efforts?
I bet if he was offered a life-time pass to the Playboy Mansion he wouldn't be so meek about receiving any compensation.

Hey don't get carried away, their not plastic their silicorn (XD Mr. Hankey's wife XD)

I do get you're point though, Noodlecup. Hef needs to expand his horizons a little more when it comes to women; He's obsessed with blonds. I personally prefer brunettes.

He's using the money to fund his research, but not for his personal use. I admire him for that.

If I was him I would’ve taken the money and funded more research in the specialty area, so No I wouldn’t turn it down (and I wouldn’t give it to charity too, I’ll live my life to the max.)
