But the kind of post below is an embarrassing act of
hero worship of Albert's Sphincter by Sam & Sci.Am's
yenta Sabine Hossenfelder, both of whom truly deserve
the label as being Einstein Dingleberries... who are
working feverishly to preserve Einstein’s utterly useless
Gedanken farts as being a precious Jewish cultural
heritage. … hmmm… ahahaha… LOL… ROTFLMAO!
