Dr Floyd left out the name of a great, great hydrophobe, namely James
Joyce. Just to fill in his list. Of course, JAJ lived mainly in Paris, and
baths were not very available in that City of (En) Light (enment) until the
last few decades.

PS: Another great nonbather was Eric Satie, of whom it is told that when
they came to fetch his corpse, and opened his closet, they found some
hundreds of dress shirts, worn until black, never washed, but stashed in
his closet. His sheets were black as black can be. Well, his music is
clean and light. How strange these mortals be!
