Albert Einstein's Timecard National Archives via Retronaut Did history's best-known genius hate Mondays? Happy Post-Holiday-Weekend Monday! Perhaps you can take comfort in knowing you had something in common with fellow clock-puncher Albert Einstein, who took part-time pay from the government while working on Navy weapons during World War II. Here are his timecards from July 1943 to June 1944. The cards are a little tough to decipher: it's not clear how much Einstein earned for his expertise, or when exactly he worked (are those squiggly lines days worked?). But still, it's a nifty artifact. Now get back to work. [National Archives via Retronaut]
