[Bernard Marx]

There is a reason the most famous invention of the Swiss is the cuckoo clock.

I agree the stuff about plants is nonsense. But I seem to recall a Swiss citizen named Albert Einstein who "invented" a new way of thinking about the Universe. It's had a lot more impact on modern science than cuckoo clocks.

“But I seem to recall a Swiss citizen named Albert Einstein ...”

Well, if we’re going to be picky, relativity was a discovery, not an invention. One doesn’t “invent” scientific principles—well, except for psychiatrists, who invent diseases, and evolutionists, who invent everything.

I think it’s the Swiss air. Einstein did poorly in school, but seemed to flourish in the US. Of course he was not really Swiss, though he had a Swiss citizenship when he came to America, which he never gave, though he did become an American citizen.
