Happy 364th Birthday, Sir Isaac Newton!

On the first day of Newton, Sir Isaac gave to me
Equations for graa-vi-tee….

The 17th-century alchemist, Biblical scholar, and natural philosopher may not have been the jolliest old soul in the world, but he enriched our lives immeasurably. Break open a pack of Fig Newtons in his honor!

    Everybody who works with my parents think Newton was a cultist. I think he thought that he was magical or something; when he died they found a trunk of his with a whole bunch of “magical” items in them. I have no idea what these “magical” items were, but still.

    Ah, well. It’s his birthday.

    Have a pie, you big cultist! *pies with cult pie*

    Yay, Sir Isaac Newton! Happy Birthday!!

    I would open some Fig Newtons, except I don’t have any, and I probably wouldn’t eat them anyway since I just had apple pie. (Yes, such a waste, my dad cut it before I could throw it at him) And, seeing as I have an unusually small stomach, have absolutely no room.

    A poem about Issac Newton

    In London lies a knight a pope interred
    His labor’s fruit a holy wrath incurred
    You seek the orb that ought be on his tomb
    It speaks of rosy flesh and seeded womb

    From The Da Vinci Code

    Sir Issac Newton was weird. We had this one teacher who kept reading us stuff about him and he was totaly wacko. Basicly it sounded like all he did was make sure that he drove other people crazy and ruin their life,

    14 – Newton was not totally wacko. Mrs. K just read you too much boring stuff about him/his laws. He did try to ruin people’s lives, though.

    Did you know that Newton said the world would end in 2060?

    19-Correction…

    Llama Song, Newton Edition:
    here’s an apple
    there’s an apple
    and another little apple
    heavy apple
    falling apple
    the apple apple
    falls

    apple apple
    physics
    apple
    gravy
    sand
    deep frying
    apple
    apple apple
    reddish
    apple
    the apple apple
    falls

    i was once a Newton
    i lived in a fig
    but i never felt the way
    the gravity slayed the rig
    i was only three years dead
    but it told a tale
    and now listen, little child
    to the guarding rail

    did you ever see a apple
    kiss an apple
    on the apple
    apple’s apple
    tastes of apple
    tastes of llama
    the apple apple
    falls

    half an apple
    twice the apple
    not an apple
    ‘tater
    apple
    apple in a car
    alarm an apple
    the apple apple
    falls

    is THIS how it’s told now?
    is it all so old?
    is it made of gravity?
    Figgy
    Newtons
    cold
    now my song is getting thin
    i’ve run out of luck
    time for me to retire now
    and become a duck

    I know, it stinks. Best I could do, though. Happy b-day, Newton!

  30. I rather like the ancient Greek theories, even if they’re wrong. They had two opposing forces, gravity and levity.

    One day, someone will postulate the existence of levitons, hypothetical particles that behave like inverse gravitons. Then we’ll all be confused.
