Einstein is (still) smarter than you

I was shocked today to learn that Albert Einstein is still smarter than me. Of all dead celebrities (are scientist celebrities?), he made the 4th largest amount of money last year behind The King, Charles Schultz (Charlie Brown) and Heath Ledger. Einstein made $18 million LAST YEAR. I have not made $18 million in the last three years combined! :)

Ironically, Einstein figured out Relativity but could not do the math on how to make kids. He died with no heirs and with a funky head of hair. (Later DNA test would definitively prove that Einstein had not combed his hair in 17.5 years.) All of his future kiz-ash (cash for the nerd readers) was left to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. (If you have children, you know this because all the Baby and Little Einstein stuff has their trademark. If you have children and do not watch Baby Einstein, you are a horrible parent, and my kids are smarter than yours.)

Ultimately, God probably knew that Einstein did not need to have kids. Michael Jordan's kids have a tough time living in his spotlight. Can you imagine being Al's kiddo? You could help cure cancer but still hear the phrase, "well, he ain't no Einstein." Well, in fact, you are an Einstein...

I guess Al, Jr could wash his blues away with $18 million per year while singing, "We're gonna take a trip on our favorite rocket ship, Flying through the sky...Little Einsteins."
