Yes, very funny! The Wikipedia article on Strindberg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strindberg) says (among other things):
Strindberg was married to three women... Though he had children with all of them, his hypersensitive, neurotic character led to bitter divorces...
Strindberg was admired by the working classes as a radical writer. He was a Socialist (or maybe more of an Anarchist) and his daughter Karin married one of the leading Russian bolsheviks...
He was a multi-faceted author; often extreme. After his death, some psychoanalysts have speculated that his contradictory and difficult character was due to his fear of his own latent homosexuality. Others invoke his early family life. His father, Oskar, was a small-time merchant. His mother, whom he called the servant, was originally his father's housekeeper before their marriage.
It also says that he was an alchemist— it was the late 1800s. And some of his plays are compared to those of fellow Scandinavian Ibsen.
Imagine how surreal your life would be if you had a small pink balloon floating around repeating key words in a high-pitched voice. :) "I'm fine, but a little sleepy." "Sleepeeeee!" "I'd like a double-tall non-fat latte." "Lattaaay!" "This section needs to explain the problem of cache coherence between the CPU cores when prefetching to the L1 cache." "Prefetch!" "I'm sorry, officer, I didn't realize that I was speeding." "Speeding!" "Let's do another set on the leg press." "Anotherrrr!" "I really love you." "Love yoooooo!"
