Square Root of Three poem from Harold & Kumar

This is not the same David Feinberg who wrote the "square root of three" poem from the movie Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. See [1] which states:

They built a pivotal scene around a poem, "The Square Root of Three," written by a classmate from Randolph High School, David Feinberg, and published in the school's literary magazine. A meditation on solitude framed around irrational numbers, the piece is recited by Kumar (Kal Penn) at the end of the story. "We're really glad we had a friend in high school who loved math and wrote poems about it," Hurwitz says of Feinberg, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology alumnus who gave the directors permission to use his writing. "When we were thinking about Kumar's backstory and trying to find a fulfilling ending that's a little bit different, we decided to use this poem we loved in high school."

Obviously a man who died in 1994 could not have given the filmmakers permission to use the poem in that movie. Mike R (talk) 03:30, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, definitely wrong guy - article says the author of the poem went to Randolph High School in New Jersey, and the subject of this article grew up in Syracuse, New York. Plus he's much older than the authors of the screenplay, so would not have been a classmate.
