1. Einstein cared little for money. He once used a $1500.00 check as a bookmark and then lost the book. (Imagine how much that check is worth now, considering inflation.)
2. Never learned how to drive a car. (But he loved riding his bike for scientific -- and I guess environmental? -- reason.)
3. After his death, his brain was weighed and found to be 1.5 kg (2.64 lb). It is now preserved in a glass jar in Wichita, KS. (Mine would probably be 1% of that mass.)
4. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 (for his discovery of the Photoelectric Effect).
5. An element, Einsteinium, is named after him. (Hah! Beat that, Landon Carter!)So, Happy Birthday, Dude!
