Truth!
Jean-Jacques Rousseau liked to moon women in public but the funniest part about him mooning women is that he was doing it because he thought it would make them want to spank him. So what Rousseau really wanted to be spanked but he thought that the proper strategy for getting spanked was to moon women, which, I mean, you know, probably not.

Moving on, fact one:
Hans Christian Andersen was so afraid of being buried alive that each night before he went to sleep he put a note by his bed that read 'I only appear to be dead'.
Or, fact two:
Alice in Wonderland author Lewis Carroll had such bad Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that any time he touched an object once he had to touch it three times for luck.
