The most interesting person I've met in awhile

There's a guy at work that I completely missjudged. He's only a year out of college but is by far the best programmer I've ever met. He's waaay fast and very good at finding the simpliest solution. Most of the developers here have been working since he was born, yet he seems to have a natural instinct on how things work. I've never heard him say 'No' to a single request by anyone, he's soft spoken, polite and clean...plain looking

Now none of that is interesting, I know...I thought the same thing. Bright Kid, big deal. in the last few months I also have found out....

Twice a week he attends a special Karate class that specializes in sword fighting. They use heavy wooden sword and sometimes steel poles and practice beating the hell out of each other wearing minimal padded armor. He's completely black and blue under his shirt and tie.....ala Fight Club

He's also a photographer for a large porno website, and does CRAZY photoshoots in his basement on the weekends. Most recently doing one that had a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle theme.

He's teaching himself Mandarin Chinese for some unknown reason.
