First panel, today's trip?

It seems to be a classic one of him.

I saw it! Penelope is awesome,made better by the fact she calle Faye Fat,also i heard she has a pretty ass 

[Paiman]

I, for one, see no difference.

I used to have a poster-sized copy of that picture of Einstein, because the company I worked for was using it in advertising (mid 1970s, so you probably won't have seen it)

Not to mention the time on the clock was 10:34.

[hmhieshetter]

hmmm....slow day, eh fellows?
it's like the news reporting on a rescued kitten.
"wow. cool. ok. move on..."
 

[CarrionMan]

I can't tell if it is a joke… He's slow, yet he insults them for being slow…

[CarrionMan]

I'm totally going to OD on irony. Great.

[LittleKey]

i noticed it, and i got the reference too. i like those little details. and irony on the INTERNET? who could have guessed?

Anyone else find it weird that Einstein was on her wall, given that he believed in God to the point of rejecting Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle outright?  Maybe Jeph just didn't have the next few comics planned out yet, but it seems like an odd choice.  Or maybe I'd just like to see a picture of Richard Dawkins with a "Whassssuuuup?!" face.

Judging from his private correspondence, Einstein wasn't a theist.  His references to God are more poetic than anything else.  He was certainly uncomfortable with the uncertainty principle, but more because he disliked the limits on what is knowable than for religious regions.

Indeed. I think his idea of "god" was that it was the collection of laws that make the Universe work. Hence, there was no "dice playing" in the Universe.
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle meant that there was some dice throwing going on, at least from our perspective.

There very well may be ways of simultaneously knowing a particle's speed and position at the same time; we just don't know it right now. I don't know, maybe look for a "time shadow" of the particle, somehow. Or something.
