The anecdote about the three Mayan books made me think of George Pal's 1960 version of The Time Machine. After telling his story, the Time Traveler took off again armed with three books.

Glad you found time to watch it, Metryq. The rest of the lecture is available on the same youtube page. There are other Feynmann lectures on youtube: there's a series called 'The Nature of Physical Law' given in the early 70's at, I think, Berkeley -- it's a famous series of about 10 one hour lectures. There are also other lecture series at Auckland University (the clip is part 4 from lecture 1) + one or two biographical youtube videos. There are one or two (recent) Murray Gell Mann talks as well ...
