I passed a rack of those supermarket newspapers today and noticed that Einstein's brain has come alive and gone on a rampage. A real news story.

Perhaps it will meet up with Haydn's head.

This (the Einstein's brain story) is where a nimble creationist if there were one could accuse me of ... Morton's Demon. I saw a huge banner page trumpeting the return to life and rampaging activity of Einstein's brain, and decided to act as if it didn't exist.

Just preserving my rationalist, materialist, non-magical worldview.

And here all this time I thought that gravity was defined as the force that attracts objects together.

Now angular momentum and conservation of same is a horse of a different color.
