Status of the Famous: Albert Einstein

Ever wonder what a famous person would have as their instant messaging status at work? Well now you'll know! Jeremy's Status Message proudly presents, Status Messages of the Famous:

Einstein = Morning Conference Call

Famous Person: Albert Einstein, of course.

Explanation: Well, I certainly hope you don't need a full explanation for this one, but I'll give one anyway. The status implies that Einstein is on his morning conference call. BUT, Einstein was a creative guy, so his message also implies that E equals M C squared, which is pretty much the only thing most people know about him.

I'm reminded by the famous quote by football commentator Joe Theismann, who once said, "Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."

Special Blog Bonus: It's the Einstein action figure! I have one which I used to proudly display in my office.*


*I actually had it hanging on the wall, still in its package, because it was more funny that way.

More Wisdom From Homer J.

I bet Einstein turned himself all sorts of colors before he invented the light bulb.

Source: The one and only Homer J Simpson. This quote is from the Bart the Genius episode. Incidentally, this is also the episode where Bart plays "K-W-Y-J-I-B-O" in Scrabble. Way cool.

Special Blog Bonus: Somebody built the H.M.S. Edinburgh, a destroyer, out of LEGOs:


More pictures here. It took the builder two years to complete.

I tried to counter this by building the U.S.S. New Jersey out of LEGOs, but I made the mistake of beginning my construction on B-4, and alas, somebody sunk my battleship.

Update, 10:14am: I am told that today is Thomas Edison's birthday. I had no idea. Good timing, I guess.
