Brian Cox, born March 3, 1968 is a renowned particle physicist and spokesman for science. This native of Chadderton, Lanacashire, has written books outlining the more abstruse aspects of modern physics for the sophisticated lay person and been awarded many honors, including an OBE (2010). Cox is (was, anyway) part of the research team at the Large Hadron Collider.
He and his wife (Gia Millinovich) and their cat posed for the 2011 Geek Calendar. From this picture we glimpse not just what a nice family he is part of, but a really amusing scene, where the fact that he can't fix a toaster, appalls his cat.
Kevin Mitnick was born on August 6, 1963. He was at one time the most wanted criminal computer hacker in the world. Nowadays he is a rich (and deservedly so) computer security consultant. His latest book (2008) is titled: "No Tech Hacking: A Guide to Social Engineering, Dumpster Diving, and Shoulder Surfing." Mitnick co-authored this book, and I am not sure if he or his co-author has a cat, but one of them definitely does. This book mentions shredding old mail to use for cat litter.
