	William James Sidis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sidis was born to Jewish Russian immigrant parents, Boris Sidis and Sarah Sidis née Mandelbaum.
		In 1919, Sidis was arrested for participating in an anti-draft May Day parade (though initially a socialist, Sidis later favored libertarianism, another term he may have coined) and sentenced to 18 months in jail under the Sedition Act of 1918 for acting as a conscientious objector.
		Many of these depictions rely on Sidis' negative image in the press of the day, which refused to acknowledge that Sidis' intellect could be attributed to anything but sacrificial monotonous cramming—exactly what his parents argued against (his mother once noted that the papers weren't writing about anyone she knew).

	Sidis v. F.R.Publishing
		William James Sidis was the unwilling subject of a brief biographical sketch and cartoon printed in The New Yorker weekly magazine for August 14, 1937.
		The subtitle is explained by the closing sentence, quoting Sidis as saying 'with a grin' that it was strange, 'but, you know, I was born on April Fool's Day.' Accompanying the biography is a small cartoon showing the genius of eleven years lecturing to a group of astounded professors.
		Since then Sidis has cloaked himself in obscurity, but his subsequent history, containing as it did the answer to the question of whether or not he had fulfilled his early promise, was still a matter of public concern.

		Sidis are settled in Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.
		Since some cultural practices of Sidis, such as percussion music and the ritual embodiment of ancestors venerated as saints, seem to mirror comparable practices in Zanzibar studied by anthropologists under the heading of `African spirit possession cults', I was interested in possible symbolic links between them, or the diaspora of African religious practices in India.
		To give an illustration: Sidi maids could be given as part of the dowry of a Rajput bride and had to move with her to her husband's house.

	The Straight Dope: Why did William Sidis, the world's (2nd) smartest human, achieve so little in life?
		All we know is that Sidis, celebrated as a prodigy in his youth, produced virtually nothing of consequence as an adult.
		Sidis was born April 1, 1898, to Russian Jewish immigrants to the U.S. From the evidence, Boris and Sarah Sidis were brilliant but neurotic--always a dangerous combination in parents.
		Sidis was later estimated to have an IQ in the 250-300 range, and while that's conjectural (hell, foolish--on what basis could the scale be run up that high?), there's little doubt that he was a very smart guy.

		In 1984, Michael Sidis, a restaurant cook, was injured when a table-side, alcohol-burning stove exploded as he was refueling it.
		Sidis argued that service on Brodie/Dohrmann tolled the statute of limitation as to all defendants named in the complaint because RCW 4.16.170, the tolling statute, states: "[T]he plaintiff shall cause one or more of the defendants to be served.
		While it is true that RCW 4.16.170, literally read, tolls the statute of limitation for an unspecified period, that period is not infinite, as the court implied.

	The Prodigy
		One of the intriguing facts about William Sidis, as is the case with other “manufactured” prodigies such as Norbert Wiener and John Stuart Mill is that their fathers tried to make prodigies of them and succeeded(!), though at terrible personal cost to the children upon whom this was thrust..
