    I just found this quote on a website.

    Albert Einstein, when asked how he arrived at his theory of relativity,
    answered, "Oh that... I thought of that while riding my bicycle."

    Then I thought, the person that will figure out quantum physics will
    naturally ride a unicycle.

    The site I grabbed the quote from was:

    Quantum was pretty much figured out by Schrodinger, and I don't think he
    rode a unicycle. On the other hand, unicycling is getting more popular
    at tech colleges these days so who knows, the next breakthrough in
    physics might come to someone riding a uni. (-:

    The unphotoshopped version of AE riding the bicycle is one of many in
    the front office of our lab.

    PhotoShop!!? I'll have you know it was Picture Publisher. Yes, I have
    had this poster in my office for about 8 years. My wife saw it in a
    bike catalog and ordered it for me.

    No, but I did meet up with a guy named "Klaas Bil" who looks remarkably
    like an inverted Albert Einstein.
