I was looking for a quote by Einstein for this node when I came across this one:

"Yesterday idolized, today hated and spit upon, tomorrow forgotten and the day after tomorrow promoted to Sainthood. The only salvation is a sense of humor." --Albert Einstein

Something about it reminded me of a particular monk who is renowned for his bad jokes.

I'll let you be the judge(s)

    Could it be the fact that he sports a rather famous picture of the man on his home page, not to mention correcting rumors?

    Please forgive me if this seems rude, but a) what does this have to do with Perl and b) shouldn't this be in Meditations instead of PMD?

    Don't get me wrong; I like Einstein as much as the next geek (using one of his quotes as my RN's .sig). However, we should be mindful of the site's areas. Shouldn't we?

    Regardless, here's a challenge for you. Take one of his articles, run it through on of those JAPH processors, and post is as an Obscurity WITH ALL DUE ATTRIBUTION. Better yet, extend it so that it's interesting, amusing and/or relevant. I'll wager five votes that it does reasonably well in the XP dept.
