Unless you're Pythagoras. Motherfucker invented the triangle. Shit like that goes a long way.

Pythagoras didn't invent the triangle, the ancient Egyptians did, by trial and error. Pythagoras made them much more compact and affordable though.

Nah, that was Thales. Pythagoras just invented a triangle with a 90° angle.

Paul Erdos is in many obscure books.

John Nash will forever be known as the guy who looked at a gaggle of cute girls and invented a mathematical model for getting the most guys laid.

No one needs 30 minutes to explain the minutia of how the Vegas sphere web designer took artistic license with how the digits of pi are displayed.

Annoying and smug about it

Euler never did anything important, except wear that dishrag on his head.
