Here is an article about Einstein and his proficiency in mathematics. Even RBION got it wrong at one time.
Excerpt from the article: This rumor actually started while he was still alive and even showed up in a particular issue of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not. Einstein was shown the article in Ripley’s, which had the title “Greatest living mathematician failed in mathematics.”
In the 1960’s, my great-uncle lived down the street from Einstein in Princeton, NJ. Only saw him once – while Einstein was mowing his lawn. I would have liked to have seen that!
I’m not sure what the Nebraska state promotions board was trying for here, but their residents should ask for their money back. I’m not intrigued by the slogan.
I did a very small amount of model building but gave it up due to the extreme length of time it took for the “Toluene stew” to set up, which left the glued components able to “drift” into an unintended position and who wants to manually hold pieces until they keep the position they were set in ?
Now-a-times you can use Super Glue™ with an accelerator spray to keep assembly time much shorter and even accurate.

Eilbert Anstein I mastered calculus by the time I was 14 years old.
So he pulled out a plume and said what a good boy am I.
May the Lord be with you.

You are free to drive much of Nebraska without getting annoyed from having cellphone service.

Sorry, never did calculus when I was fifteen or any age.

Sadie once told me the Hershey’s Kiss ‘plume’ was a tongue – but that was when we were newly wed – the little minx!

That slogan became available when the COVID task force gave up on it.

Most boys master something else when they are fifteen.

Actually, I applaud Nebraska for its honesty! I find it refreshing!

I looked that up. It’s not true; don’t believe it.
Take care, may the roared be with you, and gesundheit.

Honesty is the best policy. Honestly, I’ve been there, they’re right.

That little piece of paper isn’t a ‘pop-top’?
‘Calculus’ was Albert’s next door neighbor’s daughter.
Nebraska’s attempt to get Peyton Manning as their spokesman failed.

Nebraskan speaking here, we honestly don’t care what others think of our state, we like it. And there is more to our state than just Omaha.

Nebraska nailed it. I lived in Iowa, then Wyoming. Nebraska was just in the way…

Le plume de ma tante. Too bad it has nothing to do with chocolate.

I wonder what Einstein’s IQ was?
