All I know is I read that some time ago. If it is BS, then thank you and Steve for correcting me. As for two "r's" that's the way my name is spelled.

I envy you for actually knowing Einstein.

I dunno. I think oysters are overrated. I ate a dozen, and only seven of'em worked.

Someone once told me an incident about Einstein :

Einstein was sick of the lectures he had to give, the travel involved and the same E=mc2 talk in all university campuses. One day, as he was travelling to yet another university to give yet another lecture to yet another star struck class of budding scholars, his chauffeur, who always travelled with him, took pity and offered to substitute for him.
"No one has seen you here, they don't know what you look like, so I can always pass myself off as you" he said.
"How difficult can it be ?" the chauffeur reasoned.
"I know your readings by heart. You can rest and catch up on your sleep", he insisted.

Einstein agreed. The lecture went fine. Einstein sat near the door and dozed. The audience was impressed and the chauffeur got a thunderous applause. One student got up and asked a particularly serious question. Without batting an eyelid, the chauffer pointed at the sleeping Einstein - "The question is so elementary, even my chauffeur can answer it !".

Nihil, is this true ? LOL - just kidding.
