Happy birthday Albert Einstein...

This may or may not have relevance relatively speaking, but in theory it should do. After all, it's all part of the equation.

Today is Albert Einstein’s birthday, that much-loved absent-minded genius who gave us the theory of relativity (two of them, in fact, special theory and general theory of relativity), but did you know that Einstein was born with such a large head that his mother thought he was deformed? Or that Einstein had a secret child before he was married? Or that he liked to play with puppets? Or that his brain was removed on death and taken on a cross-country trip to California in a Buick Skylark with Einstein's brain sloshing inside a jar in the boot to meet Einstein's granddaughter? Or that he married his cousin Elsa Lowenthal, but only after being turned down by her daughter? Or that he wasn’t poking his tongue out at all in that well known picture, he was licking some barbecue sauce from his chin?

Hmmmm… happy birthday Albert are you sure that E = mc2 ,or could that have been some spilt barbecue sauce as well?

    I can't tell you my telephone number, I have to look it up. Einstein was apparently the same, claiming he didn't have room in his brain for stuff that could be easily found written elsewhere. We are not related.
