Al Knows Best

In the temple of science there are many mansions...and various indeed are they that dwell therein and the motives that led them there...
What has brought them to the temple...no single answer will cover...escape from everyday life, with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from his noisy cramped surroundings into the silence of high mountains where the eye ranges freely through the still pure air and fondly traces out the restful contours apparently built for eternity.

--Albert Einstein

Apparently "humping like the devils jackhammer" was not his only passion.
