Albert Einstein's birthday

Albert Einstein was born 125 years ago today in Germany, March 14, 1879. His name is now the very symbol of highest level human intelligence. Some smart dude is an Einstein. He received a noble prize in 1921.

He is best known for his general theory of relativity, symbolized a E=mc2 or "Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared."

Knowing this proves that I too am really smart. Indeed, I is a highly rated intellectual type person. Did I mention that I have a sixth grade degree, and that I'm going to become brain surgeon- or perhaps a Hollywood playboy?

Anyhow, I figured his birthday deserved at least as much notice as, say, Courtney Love's latest arrest, or J Lo's latest boyfriend.

    I don't know, Al. Don't they teach you sixth graders how to avoid the dreaded "A" in your HTML?

    Funny coincidence:

    Einstein was born -- and Newton began spinning in his grave.
