1. There's Something Einstein about life
Bobby and Peter Farrelly, the brother writing-directing duo accountable for the comedy hits, "There's Something About Mary" and "Dumb and Dumber" are fans of the mad genius the same as everybody else. To dazzle the crowds, Bobby Farrelly has taught his three-year-old son a few tricks to flaunt their own future genius. He's taught him 10 answers to some very advanced questions for a tot of his age, among that is, "Who created the theory for E=MC2?" Playing the crowd with contemplation on his face, his son toes the floor with his sneaker and finally and timely answers, "Albert Einstein" ;.Now that's genius.
2. Einstein's Brain
By chance a man named Thomas Harvey performed the autopsy on Einstein in 1955 shortly following the genius passed away. He wasn't scheduled to do so, the guy that has been, wasn't able to produce it. So, Mr. Harvey got the honors of handling Albert's most private matters, including his priceless grey matter. Without proper permission to do so, although Thomas attests to being given the nod of okay from an Einstein relative, Mr. Harvey pulled a contemporary day Robin Hood and snatched the scientist's brain. For many years he kept it in a key location, dishing out bits of it to researchers across the world. Mr. Harvey meant well, he designed to do elaborate research on the mind himself and have the findings published, but ultimately that endeavor never stumbled on fruition.
3. Brainwash
The brain had seen better days, transformed from the greatest mind of a contemporary time to chicken-colored chunks floating in a smelly, yellow, formaldehyde broth, diced into varying bits and encased in Tupperware. A good deal of that time period, the mind was hidden in a cookie jar at Mr. Harvey's girlfriend's house. Then one day, willing to produce amends with the Einstein family, Mr. Harvey decided to come back the prodigal brain to Einstein's granddaughter, Evelyn in San Francisco.
4. Driving Mr. Albert
Enter journalist Paterniti hailing from Portland, Maine. Having written a write-up on Mr. Harvey and the missing brain, Paterniti's friendship with Harvey grew to the point where he was willing to drive Harvey and the mind from New Jersey to California, all things considered, it's not the destination, but the journey that counts. The unlikely trio - a freelance writer, an elderly pathologist and the Albert Einstein sans life and limb - traversed America in a borrowed Buick Skylark. Stopping here and there, visiting old friends of the 2 living members of the convoy. From an adobe ranch house south of Santa Fe, New Mexico to remain with old friends of Paterniti to probably the most unusual detour of the journey, to see William S. Burrough's in Lawrence, Kansas. Because it turned out, Mr. Harvey and Mr. Burrough's knew each other and so, Einstein's brain had dinner with the writer of "Naked Lunch" ;.
5. IQ
The genius of Einstein about life was not only in his scientific theories, but in addition in his willingness for extreme self-promotion. A lot of his early fame can be attributed to the truth that he continued a whirlwind world tour to promote his discoveries, dining with the rich and famous and powerful the entire world over. Gaining global headlines and firmly establishing the scientist as a superstar. Today, scientists like Brian Greene and Michio Kaku can just only dream of such fanfare surrounding their groundbreaking work in search of the elusive Unifying Theory which Einstein himself spent his final days contemplating, to no avail.
6. From E=MC2 To The X-Files
Many actors have portrayed the wiry-haired genius on the silver screen. Especially was Walter Matthau's witty turn while the mad scientist in the 1994 romantic comedy, "IQ" ;.Australian comedian, Yahoo Serious took a hare-brained stab at in the farcical, "Young Einstein" in 1988. Even Robert Downey Jr. has portrayed him in the 1990 film, "That's Adequate" ;.We only at T-Shirt King have voted and would enjoy seeing David Duchovny portray Mr. Einstein during his earlier years. Go figure.
7. Albert Einstein Institution
Having developed the ensures that resulted in creation of the world's most destructive weapon, The Albert Einstein Institution has been striving for new methods for nonviolent conflict resolution, the same as Mr. Einstein himself endeavored to do while he was alive. The institution is committed to defending democratic freedoms and institutions - opposing oppression, dictatorship and genocide - reducing reliance on violence as an instrument of policy. For our sakes, it's too bad Mr. Einstein isn't still around these days.
8. Young Einstein
Einstein's popularity is legendary, you'd be hard pressed to get anyone in the world that had not heard of him. His very name is equated with genius. Despite his amazing feats later in his life, young Einstein didn't fair so well in the eyes of those around him. He was a terrible student, which he attributes to boredom, his teachers attribute it to an abrasive ego. His parents had concerns for him as well, when he couldn't speak fluently until his ninth birthday, leading his parents to suspect he could be mentally challenged. Yeesh, what's a genius to do?
