Around SBN: Four TCU Football Players Among 17 Arrested In Drug Ring

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.

Sigh. Fulmer points for UF.

Doe, a beer, it’s just a beer. And Ray, they just wanted to hit someone.

Doh!! At least it’s only a misdemeanor.

Already addressed, Pappy.

That Einstein is certainly a genius…being able to write, in chalk, legibly, on top of himself..all while maintaining perfect alignment!

I’m impressed!

Aaargh! But that was soooo long ago :)

It’s weird, I remember reading that, but completely disassociated it from this incident. Ah well, carry on.

Fulmer proves that an object at rest aquires a greater mass. The greater mass encourages the object to remain at rest. It’s an ugly cycle as we all see.

Now Charlie Weis proved that an object at rest can shed mass via a partial removal of the black hole that constantly sucked in energy(i.e. chickens, whole hogs, a bovine or 6 ect.). I think this theory may be called Occam’s razor. Maybe it’s Occam’s scalpel? This is a dangerous theory that still requires extensive research… I mean litigation. If he had put the object in motion(i.e. a sit up or 12, walking ect.) he wouldn’t have to practice such dangerous experiments.

Do you mean Chicago, the university where they built the A-bomb under the bleachers, and used to have a football team and still maintain some weirdo Big Ten membership. Not Pricenton, the school that has always had football.

It is well known that Einstein had to sleep through faculty meetings, as he could not sleep at night. He was kept awake because all of the crickets at night sounded like the screams of melting schoolchildren.

thank you for the half-assed caption fix.

Brian—corrected, and appropriately half-assed.

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.

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

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

by PeterPumpkinhead on Apr 4, 2007 2:26 PM EDT reply actions  

Regarding the mascot hats…I expected the Oregon State hat to look more like Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears…

Einstein was a badass.
