The Newton Project, a UK organization that’s putting the complete works of Isaac Newton online, is featuring an amazing list of 48 “sins” that 19-year-old Isaac committed in 1662, according to a list he wrote. The young genius was both very pious and very peevish, having punched his sister, poked Iohn Keys with a pin, and even threatened to burn down his stepfather’s house.

Some of my personal faves:

• Threatning my father and mother Smith to burne them and the house over them
• Having uncleane thoughts words and actions and dreamese.

• Refusing to go to the close at my mothers command.

• Calling Dorothy Rose a jade
