Alan Einstein reminds me of Dilbert’s point-haired boss mistaking ALBERT Einstein’s name (it was some Sunday strip in one of my brother’s books to show what it be like if Albert were in marketing where the PHB disagrees to the project and then worries someone like "Alan’ will go and build a huge bomb).

If Einstein didn’t invent the blender (or ham), then why does everyone think he was so great…?

They don’t know about anything in 3D.

Anyway, now it looks like the theory of relativity was a crock.Wait…. that’s the theory of Larry’s relativity….all of Larry’s relations are Crocs.

Has anyone ever tried inventing a ham? If you did, you would know that Alan….ahem- Albert has a point.

There actually IS a ’ Dr. Alan Einstein’. But he didn’t invent the blender – Stephen Poplawski did. But neither of them are crocodiles. And ham was never ‘invented’. So Larry is spewing a hopeless mix of distortion and misinformation.Crocs is so stupid.

So, who DID invent ham? C.mon Stephan, we need to know!

Steph just rescued me from a bad Sunday. I’m up off the couch and prancing like Twinkletoes. Thanks much. Even Alan Einstein couldn’t have done better.

Some fancy blenders spin speed approach the speed of light speed – Croc might be on to something!

reading this on Sunday in the newspaper I was laughing to myself on all the comments you guys would be posting. The ham/Pig tie in was too obvious, wish I was on line.
