Frank: "Wow! Look at this exhibit with all these great scientists! Here's the physicist, Albert Einstein!" Frank: "And the astronomer, Galileo!" Ernest: "Hey, over there is the geneticist, Sir Isaac Newton!" Frank: "Newton wasn't a geneticist---he discovered gravity." Ernest: "No, he made a key genetics discovery...." Ernest: "He made the observation that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!"

Newton was one of the worlds biggest geniuses. Like it really took an apple for him to figure out attraction between masses and the 9.8 meters per second? Nope, never had a thought of it before. Did I ever tell you how he came up with the theory for gas diffusion?

He was a pretty serious astrologer and alchemist also. This was in the days when most people didn’t know any better. Alchemy has gone by the board but astrology is still around and good for laughs.
