I like to call him a batshit whackjob, but that's only because a couple of drinking buddies are big fans of the White Dragon Society. It's an ancient and secret society, you know. Which isn't very secret now that it's on the internet and publicly acknowledging its protection of Herr Fulford. Who knows a lot of secrets, some of which don't even exist yet.
Sir Tim Hunt, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist forced to resign amid sexism allegations, is reportedly leaving the UK to move to Japan.
He had to quit his honorary professorship at University College London earlier this year following a storm of criticism over his so-called "trouble with girls" speech.
In light-hearted comments meant as a joke, the 72-year-old father of two suggested women cry when criticised and should have separate laboratories.
Sir Tim told the Telegraph he had been "hung out to dry" and was forced to resign, despite an internal inquiry noting the self-deprecating tone in which he delivered the speech.
Now it has emerged that he and his wife, Mary Collins, are planning to leave their home in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, and move to Japan as they hope to put the row behind them.
Professor Collins is leaving her own professorship at UCL to start a five-year job at a Japanese university.

The questionable professional claims made by Mrs St Louis include that she regularly writes for national newspapers such as the Daily Mail, the Sunday Times and the Independent.
Yet digital archives for these papers stretching back 20 years contain no bylined articles by Mrs St Louis.
Further claims she writes for the Guardian appeared to be limited to two articles – one appearing only after the Sir Tim Hunt affair.
Meanwhile an online CV posted by Mrs St Louis said she had an ‘upper second’ BSc (Hons) in applied biology – although it was not clear where this was awarded.
