I got your bomb right here . . .



Did you know …

That Albert Einstein was known to be something of a jokester among the scientists of the Manhattan Project? It’s true!

Einstein’s favorite running joke was to rush into the cafeteria during lunch and breathlessly exclaim, “I’ve done it! I’ve developed an atomic bomb!” He would then loudly pass gas and run back out of the cafeteria. According to Enrico Fermi, Einstein would often “aim” the fart directly at Fermi’s lunch tray, although other researchers claim that Fermi was being oversensitive and that the fart was aimed at no one in particular.
