Newton - "the sole mortal who could grapple,
Since Adam, with a fall or with an apple."
— Byron
A calculus fit to compute on,
White light and a head to drop fruit on,
A mind to absorb it,
And soar into orbit —
That's all that it takes to be Newton. — Gina Berkeley

My favorite:
Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night:
God said, Let Newton be!
And all was light.
-- Alexander Pope
Is that so ?
I have to email hn@news.ycombinator.com about it. Those Apples are just too freaking expensive to throw around like that, Dang.
