Einstein, Curie, Planck, Bohr, Heisenberg... wow. If you ever needed to build a nuke, everyone you could want to know is in that picture =)

Who needs a Nuke when you have Madame Curie. . .

Heh, I had to look again for Curie, she blended in with the men.

I really like Einstein. He stays very natural and relaxed on his chair. The others knows they are taken in the picture.

Schrodinger has his eyes closed, probably thinking that the camera is and isn't there, eh?

WTF are Pauli and Schroedinger looking at? Heisenberg looks like he's about to molest somebody.

I've never encountered the work of 6 of these gentlemen(or at least I don't recall).

Some of my least favorites would be brillouin and ehrenfest. The names makes me shudder.

There are quite a few funny looking ones in the crowd. Is it bad that I'm laughing at so many prestigious men (and woman) of science?

No, thats fine, because in my opinion, famous and/or clever scientists tend to look a bit odd. Just look at my uncle, wild hair, crazy eyes, etc etc.

The only one who looks "normal" is Einstein, but even he was a bit out there.

Is it just me, or does he always look like he witnessed creation itself?
