I mean, Newton wasn't hit on the head by</i> Steve Jobs.<br /><br />Yeah, I thought about that. The problem is that then the analogy/joke starts to break down because it's the actual falling of the apple and not the apple itself that legendarily gave Newton the idea about gravity, so having a book about gravity hit Jobs on the head becomes redundant: Jobs=Newton, book=apple, Apple=gravity, yet the falling of an object needs to remain constant in both images to suggest the whole situation.<br /><br />It's like the old cartoon of the newsboy on crutches yelling "Shazam!" — back when enough of the general public was actually familiar enough with Captain Marvel to know that Freddy Freeman was Captain Marvel <i>Jr.</i> but not enough to know (or at least care) that Freddy's own magic phrase was actually "Captain Marvel!".<br /><br />So, y'know, I suggest that you stuff a denim turtleneck up your nose.<br /><br>Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504827047542759744.post-14150815618020409412011-11-02T10:53:18.784-04:002011-11-02T10:53:18.784-04:00Ha!
