Today's Random Fact:

As a child, Albert Einstein seldom spoke. When he did, he spoke very slowly. According to accounts, Einstein did this until he was nine years old. Einstein's parents were fearful that he was retarded.



Bonus Fact:

At 17, Albert Einstein applied for early admission into the Swiss Federal Polytechnical School (Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule or ETH). He passed the math and science sections of the entrance exam, but failed the rest (history, languages, geography, etc.). Einstein had to go to a trade school before he retook the exam and was finally admitted to ETH a year later.
