what was he drinking???
it is ironic that you should ask this and just happen to use the famous picture of einstein hamming it up.

do you know the story behind this picture?

it was taken a few hours after his rarely referenced meeting with dr. albert hofmann in 1951; that's right, L.S.D.

or maybe, you knew this which is why you posted it in honor of his recent passing.

the circle is now complete.

I think that is high time ("high time", get it? nyuk, nyuk) the links between Dr. Hoffman and Dr. Einstein (Dr.) and Dr. Hoffman and Lance Armstrong (bicycling with strange chemicals in one's systems) be explored.

This is a perfect example of why the chicks dig me( and why those who don't wish they did): I'm hung like Einstein and damn near as smart as a horse.

Did Einstein appreciate baseball? Did he play it? Did he ever pitch a no-hitter or field an unassisted triple play?

I think not.

It can be said that he treated women in a Kennedy-like fashion, very manly, approaching the Roger Clemens standards of friendship.

Overrated--not a mensch--had an accent--refused to comb his hair...

Mr. Stoole: that's a picture of Einstein? I thought it was a lorax. I am, like, so not sure of anything.

Einstein was unpatriotic as well. I found this traitorous comment on the internets:

"Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them."

He probably didn't wear a flag pin on his lapel either.

Ms. Ted Nancy … sounds like that Einstein was sharin’ the communal wine with Jeremiah Wright, if ya know what I’m sayin’ …

As we read his last words, we should keep in mind that Albert Einstein is still with us in spirit, although perhaps on some distant star or deep beneath the earth, being tortured mercilessly for them. For dead scientists without religion go to hell.

What a shame. He always seemed like such a nice, religious man.

if you can find the rare, untouched original (which is probably going on the black market for a couple of hundred grand) on einstein's tongue you would see a square piece of paper with a mickey mouse face print.
it was his birthday and hofmann brought some party favors. this can all be verified on snopes.
