Meeting of Minds

In a fanciful sense, would Newton and Descartes make for interesting roommates at the university?

Newton was an asshole. Plus he was always dabbling in the seriously illegal arts of alchemy, so he would have been a dangerous associate. Anti-social, egotistical, religious fundamentalists do not make good room mates.

On the plus side you could always go out on the piss with Descartes.
