[Interesting historical tidbit.](http://www.cracked.com/article_18559_6-famous-geniuses-you-didnt-know-were-perverts.html) This wasn’t in my high school bio on him! > [@](#): > > When he wasn’t sciencing the shit out of everything, Einstein spent his time postulating his wiener into as many women as possible. Even though he was married twice (once to his cousin), he cheated on both of his wives with about 10 different women. Though in his defense, he presented his first wife with a list of rules, one of which was “expect neither intimacy nor fidelity.” ---

Before I even checked the link I figured from the very first phrase “When he wasn’t sciencing the shit out of everything…” that that article came from Cracked. Ah how I love their style. Also interesting is the “Lick My Ass” song they are attributing to Mozart. ---

One of my favorite Letterman bits (not accurately quoted, but you get the gist): “Historians are saying that Einstein had up to ten different girlfriends at once. Think about it: ten different phone numbers, ten birthdays to remember… you’d have to be some sort of genius!” ---

The problem with Cracked is that they will exaggerate to make a point, and often don’t check their sources. While I don’t know the whole story, I know people like to inflate Einstein’s prowess, and I doubt Cracked would fact-check an inflated assertion. It’s a fun place to read, but before believing anything they say, check for a real source. ---

One thing they didn’t exaggerate about - his second wife was not only his cousin, but his cousin in two different ways! She was his first cousin maternally and his second cousin paternally. ---

On average, Newton and Einstein had normal sex lives. ---
