Re: I wonder
"what former patent office clerk Albert Einstein would make of this."
Well, this kind of idiocy isn't new, just better publicised these days.
I'm sure that one day, pondering over the latest stack of approved patents that he had to file, he had a epiphany:
"If this kind of idiotic tripe is being approved by normal people, I must be a genius!"
Then he promptly formulated general relativity and left to teach at University.
