[edit] misc
It should be noted of what he died of.ChuckDizzle 03:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
I have removed Asourdough.2005's extensive edits. They are interesting anecdotes, but they are obviously someone's personal recollections, so they should be labelled as such (e.g. made into a separate section, mentioning the source, e.g "Fred Smith writes..."). Also they can't be included if they're from copyrighted material. p.s. the edits are not gone forever. They can be retrieved via the "history" page. Rocksong 02:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] an addition proposal
I remember watching his shows in school. One thing that stood out was how his experiments didn't always go quite as planned. Does anyone else recall this as well?Jlujan69 00:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Haha yeah. He always like "That didn't go as planned. Let's try this again." The only video we saw of him was when he was doing Bernoulli's laws. It was probably the most fun I ever had in physics class (this year and last year). Nishkid64 21:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Glass and a half
I was fortunate to become friendly with JS Miller in the last years of his life, and he left us with many sayings. However, I doubt that the term 'Cadbury' for someone who gets inebriated after "a glass and a half" of alcohol has anything to do with the Prof, as Cadbury used the slogan "a glass and a half of rich, full-cream milk" for many years before Miller did Cadbury commercials. It's a classic bit of Australian advertising. I believe that the reference to the saying, as it now stands, should only remain if the Wikipedian who wrote it, or someone else, can actually connect that saying to Miller.

[edit] Julius and Einstein
I have never heard of 'Cadbury' being used as a reference to someone being a 'two pot screamer' either. However, I recall from my childhood TV watching in Australia that Julius may have been a student of Albert Einstein. I cannot prove this, however. He was a wonderful man to watch and deserves much more information and biographical content to be added to this site.
