2. Possible answers from actual Einstein quotes:
Edited on Fri Nov-18-05 02:12 PM by SteppingRazor
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."


"Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character."


"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."


"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."


"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."


(In my opinion, the best one:)
"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."


"Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!"

U.S. President George W. Bush shakes hands with 'Albert Hubo,' a 54-inch-tall, two-legged robot topped with a head modeled after Albert Einstein as leaders of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum toured South Korea's hi-tech exhibition in Busan, South Korea, Friday, Nov. 18, 2005.

6. Is that a new version of Asimo?
I saw Asimo at a demonstration recently. It get's better and better with each incarnation- it's amazing. The last one I saw even had facial recognition capability.

10. "If it wasn't for your Theory of Relativity ...
... we wouldn't have words for 'grandparents', 'cousins', or 'sons and daughters'. Thanks, Al -- and by the way, you're doing a heck of a job!"

12. Japan- the only country that can make Bush look tall.
I find so many things distasteful about this picture. First, using Einstein's head on your intentionally-shorter-than-the-already-short inventor's creation. Second- OH MY GOD, that man with the microphone is on a platform that's as high as Bush's knees. Third- Wait, Jesus Christ, that means that someone got paid good money to make a little wax Einstien head! Fourth- Bush, the robot and the diminutive inventor ain't NUTTIN BUT CRAP! Shouts out to the glue-sniffing Lisle crew!
