Favourite Albert Einstein story. Once he and his wife emigrated to America, he was feted by all the universities. Problem was, what to do with Mrs Einstein? (So weird to remember she was as person, or am I alone on this?) (Mr) Einstein was giving a lecture (1957+), so a social group gave Mrs a tour. They took her into a giant telescope thingy with a massive bank of (tres really) early computers. She looked around, and said, My Goodness. What do you do in here? The guide answers, Mrs Einstein, this is where we try to determine the shape of the Universe. (I kid you not!) She said: Oh. Albert does that on the back of an envelope. The best slam is the innocent slam. Love to all.
