Ten similarities between Albert Einstein and David Beckham Unashamedly nicked from another website, but considered worthwhile

1) Einstein was partly responsible for creating the biggest and most horrific bomb known to humanity. Beckham was partly responsible for promoting 'Out Of Your Mind' by his wife Victoria.

2) Einstein studied radioactivity. Beckham's wife studied radio activity until she discovered that every station in the country was playing that bloody Spiller record more than hers.

3) Einstein developed the Theory Of Relativity. Beckham has developed his own Theory Of Relativity, which conclusively proves that his auntie is actually his dad's sister.

4) Einstein's theory dealt with the relationship between mass and energy. Every other Saturday at Old Trafford, Beckham plays in front of a large mass which possesses absolutely no energy at all.

5) As a German who lived in Italy, Switzerland and America and rarely visited the UK, Einstein naturally described himself as a lifelong Manchester United fan.

6) Einstein proved that E equals MC squared. Beckham is still trying to track down a record by this MC Squared guy, as long as he's a bit like MC Hammer.

7) Einstein loved equations. Beckham says he also loves equations - in fact, he likes all racial minorities.

8) Einstein worked alongside a famous Bohr. Beckham is an international team-mate of Kevin Phillips

9) Einstein died in New Jersey. Every five minutes, Manchester United bring out a new jersey.

10) Both spent hours worrying over difficult formulas - but thankfully Brooklyn has now moved onto solids...

I must be having a bad day or a humour haemorrhage 'cos I don't find that remotely funny.

I didn't think it was gut breakingly funny, but I thought some of the analagies were mildly funny.

That's very ungracious, Geordie.

It took ITK ages to copy and paste all that!

Found it quite chuckle-able meself.
