Leó Szilárd and Edward Teller meet up in a bar

[MrScorpio]

As they're drinking, Szilárd looks over at Teller and notices that he has this huge shit eating grin on his face. He thought that this was pretty weird, because Teller NEVER EVER smiles.

Szilárd who's curious about why Teller is so uncharacteristically happy, asks him why he's smiling so much.

Teller tells Szilárd that he just got finished talking to their pal, Robert Oppenheimer and that Bob has just set him up with the best guaranteed blind date of his entire life. He actually bet the farm that this woman is a sure thing.

A doubtful Szilárd then asks Teller how is it possible that Oppenheimer could make such an outrageous assertion.

"It's simple.", says Teller, "Because Oppenheimer told me, in no uncertain terms, that this woman is THE BOMB."

4. Teller seemed like a nut case

It seemed like many of the others working on the Manhattan Project later worked for nuclear nonproliferation but he pushed for more...
