Happy birthday to me. You may know me as the genius and early investor in Al's fridge business who devised my very own constant, an equation which is too complicated to go into here but elegantly calculates the quantum of action (not to be confused the action flick Quantum of Solace) which powers a cyclist unless stopped by a pub. Perhaps ironically, I was admittedly an inept mechanic and required my doctoral student Lise Meitner to repair any punctures, taking care to always take credit for successful inflations, as was the custom.

Here's an unauthorised shot by paparazzi of me returning Einstein's wallet after mischievously pickpocketing it at Comic Con '29; I'm not ashamed to admit I was also a fan of Buck Rogers, then giving a talk on radioactivity-induced suspended animation.
