Einstein rode a bike and walked a lot, hence the sweet ass legs, the shoes are obviously custom and comfortable Socrates style beach sandals. It was Einstein's greatest compromise, he preferred bare feet like all great scientists who love to save time.

When you say "sitting comfortably" are you referring to the way he crosses his legs?

If so, Europeans cross their legs like this, Americans cross it in the 'figure 4' position. This was actually a concept that was used to catch spies back in the day.

I sit like this sometimes and I actually have no idea how it works. I only ever sit like that when my legs fall into place naturally, and when they do it's very comfortable. If I consciously try to do it, there is no way I can do it without either extreme delicate and overt positioning or just plain old smashing my junk.

It's possible but I haven't figured how to do it.

[–]Calcipher 0 points1 point ago

I grew up in Europe and when I moved to America I got teased quite a bit for sitting with crossed legs. Giving into the peer pressure, I started sitting in the American style. Now, I can no longer sit in the European style. I think it must be one of those things like Japanese Seiza Sitting which you must grow accustomed to.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The American leg-crossing thing is good for stretching/popping your hip, but usually not comfortable, at least in my experience.

Oh, and from the article:

Experienced seiza practitioners can maintain the posture for forty minutes or more with minimal discomfort.

I read Einstein's biography by Walter Isaacson, which is a great book and wonderful insight into the genius that was Einstein.

Also, the dude WALKED everywhere all the time. The book often sites how he would just meander with colleagues talking about the universe and what not.

Makes sense his legs looked nice, they would have to after all that walking.

Also, cited often in the book, was Einstein's lack of care for anything other than his work. So, women's shoes were of no concern to him, just as long as they were comfortable.

And one more thing for clarification's sake, everything isn't relative, it is relative to the observer.

It's an old movie, but Einstein was a character in it: IQ. His niece is Meg Ryan and she's falling in love. There are three other scientists and they just spend the whole movie talking science and goofing off (mostly while walking around). Someone in the movie did some research.

[–]V767 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, Walter Mathau was Einstein in it. Tim Robbins was in it too.

While the character in that movie was more like a caricature of Einstein, his personality was somewhat like that, more in a generalized sense though.

Which Bowie are you talking about? I'd agree with you about late-80s Bowie (with the exception of Tin Machine, which I love), but pretty much anything pre-1983 I can listen to over and over again. Just curious what of his oeuvre you find awful.

And for the record, Philip Glass is fantastic.

No, he has the legs of a physicist...thin with no muscular definition. Clearly not an athlete.

Many older men have much nicer legs than older females.

I am not personally comfortable realizing this, but realize this, I have.

Those don't look like any girl's legs that I've ever seen... ಠ_ಠ

Ever notice that extremely intelligent people treat their bodies as only a vehicle for their heads?

Does anyone else think that because Einstein was a national and military asset that he should have been given a polygamy exemption, if not cloned in the national interest.

They look like experimental chrono-clogs. You'll need to construct an Allied Technology Center before manufacturing them in your Allied Shoe Factory.

Was Einstein a triathlete? We often shave our legs and look sexy.

As you can tell, the leg shaving makes us dead sexy.

His brain sucked out the energy from his feet. Some would say that is a tight joke, but I say it's all relative.

pretty standard for the time, both in footwear and in leg definition. Find me an elderly man with legs not like that. Also, sandals have come a long way.

Also, little known fact, Einstein invented leg transplantation.... and killed a woman.

This image is not fake, it was taken on Nassau Point in Cutchogue, New York (on the eastern end of Long Island, where he lived).
