Interesting video clip of Albert Einstein smoking a pipe

[tsellati]

Here is a neat video clip of Herr Professor Einstein smoking a pipe -

And here is a piece about one of his pipes displayed in the National Museum of American History -

Einstein's Brier Pipe

Albert Einstein, creator of the theory of relativity, Nobel Prize winner, and striver for world peace, is almost as well known for his physical appearance as for his epochal work in theoretical physics. Characteristic of that appearance was a pipe.

Not sure if the one in the museum is the one he is seen smoking, but cool nonetheless.

Loaded with Revelation perhaps.

He was quite the puffer. I'll bet he worked through that bowl (Revelation, as Salty suggested?) in 20 minutes.

^^ Yeah, he was hitting it hard. I always wonderd how much he would have done scientifically without the pipe. Same with lots of writers. I think it did help them somewhat.
