Yeah, it’s rather sad how true this is. RIP forever to Albert Onestone.

Yeah, except your kids are at the age the APA considers “acceptable” for television watching – 2 and up.

Albert Einstein had a very big role in physics, it shows that einstein is a very powerful and smart. if someone using his name to say that the person is an idiot, so that people are very wrong

Because gay means bad now? It’s in the dictionary? Homsexual means something isn’t right, apparently?

Correct. Newton was first. (Aristotle got many things horribly incorrect, such as the effect of mass on gravitational acceleration.)

Einstein published papers on relativity (both special and general)–he was the first person to disagree with Newton and be correct about it. Then people started to observe particles, which led to increasingly bizarre observations.

Not a learning disability no, but he certainly had a very different thought process than the average person.

Glad I’m not the only one who has to listend to physics chatter at the dinner table… as a result I don’t think I’ve ever called some one Enstein to be scarcastic.

I’m PRETTY SURE more people are going to recognize the “dogs’ names” wedge from a classic 80′s film rather than an anime.

My kids, who are 2 and 3, love Baby Einstein. I don’t show it to them for their purported “developmental” qualities, but because they love the music, colors, and random crap, and it shuts them up for 30 minutes. They didn’t watch them as babies though, only recently when my husband accidentally bought a DVD instead of LITTLE Einsteins (which they love).

Also they forgot they forgot the Corgi from Cowboy Bebop! There should be a sliver of that pie for “Dogs’ names.”

Einstein Bagels are a sham and should never be included in any of these graphs for fear that someone will actually patronize those establishments.

This is why the makers of Baby Einstein are issuing refunds to all that purchased the sham of a learning kit in order to avoid heavy fines from the government for false advertising, fraud, etc.

Well, at least they’re no longer trying to *separate.*
SPELLING FAIL.

I can see you don’t study physics. Seriously, it’s Einstein this, Einstein that, it’s as if he invented physics or something.

Actually, in my media literacy class in college we had to look at a developing experiment that was trying to prove the effectiveness of the Baby Einstein videos. The preliminary results were (in 2007, at the beginning of the experiment) showing that Baby Einstein videos actually decrease speech, problem solving, and social interaction skills in infants who watched the series for 30 min-1 hour every day.

I personally think that defeats the purpose of using the name “Einstein.”

Baby developmental video series: Baby Einstein.
Also a preschool show on Playhouse Disney: Little Einsteins.

Einstein did not have a learning disability, that is a common misconception. He also did not fail Math, ever. He did, however, have problems learning French.

Of course, there’s a couple of real life brothers that fit in here…

Albert Brooks and Super Dave Osborne

Birth names, Albert Einstein and Robert Einstein – even their showbiz parents used stage names, but retained the real family name offstage. Unsure if they were related to the scientist, but it’s a fair bet Al was named for him.

Just the idea that Super Dave was literally an Einstein, boggles the mind.

Rather appropriate when you consider that Einstein was a total klutz (he had a learning disability).
