Yeah, it was... and we still suffer from the hangovers such as Einsteins bad
taste in jokes on light and relativity, which was all a trick to make the girls
stick around a while longer. (Now it finally can be said!)

You know these post-it notebooks. That's a failed superglue behind that
product. The chemists at 3M failed to make a new superglue, but it was just
enought rubberish to stick a piece of paper onto basically anything for a
while.

All great scientist makes mistakes. What makes these scientists great is that
they realize that something is usefull in the mess rather than trying to hide
it all up, which is the actions of lesser great scientists.

Fail and learn in the process! Also known as the trial and horror method of
learning. ;O)

Cheers,
