I recall once coming across something in the Carnap archive in Pittsburgh---
a diary entry, or more probably a letter---describing Wittgenstein's
reaction to Brouwer's lecture as one of merciless satire, right down to
facial expressions and foreign accent. I can't remember the exact document,
but thought it worth mentioning, given Bill Tait's and Stephen Ferguson's
recent postings.
