I was talking with Bert -- Bert Einstein -- once and he told me that the whole Relativity thing and all that started as a joke. He and some beer-swilling buddies at the so-called "Olympia Academy" in Bern thought it all up and before he knew it he was a PhD and their joke had won him the Nobel Prize.

Bert's only problem was that he like Budweiser too much, forsook good beer, and it warped his thinking so much he died.
