MUSTACHE OF THE DAY: ALBERT EINSTEIN REDUX
A repeat winner of the MOTD, but a worthy one: Albert Einstein. Al gets the double nod due to this newly discovered photo, which reveals both his unique system of organizing the personal and the private in the public eye and his little-known love for mixing college football and physics.
That’s one thorny problem he chose to solve there–in fact, most scientists agree that he likely never did. The final item on the list was accomplished later that day in an event historians of science refer to as “The Trinity Clouding.”
Einstein: continually begged Princeton to nut up and start a real football team.

Regarding the mascot hats…I expected the Oregon State hat to look more like Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears…
Einstein was a badass.

As for those worst hats ever… Buzz is so high on that second page you could freebase the goo in his eyeballs.

That’s the best/worst kind of funny there is, DCT.

He was kept awake because all of the crickets at night sounded like the screams of melting schoolchildren.
Somehow I don’t think that there was any overlap in the Venn Diagram of “screaming” and “melting,” as opposed to the overlap between “screaming” and “not quite far enough from ground zero and therefore horribly burned.”
If we’re talking about pangs of conscience: this story is probably apocryphal, but it seems relevant:
“Bomber” Harris, head of the RAF during WWII, was supposedly pulled over while driving too fast at night. The young military policeman suggested that he might want to slow down, or else he might kill someone. Harris replied, “Young man, I kill thousands of people every night!” and sped off.
