  “Yes, I know most of you just grab the book and open the cover, but this is about respect, people! Follow protocol, and your reading experience will be technically enjoyable.”
  
  Lol.

  British merchant Peter Durand patented the tin can in 1810. Ezra Warner patented a can opener in 1858. In between, people opened cans with chisels and hammers.

  Read books. As often as you can. Mostly classics.

  Happy Birthday, Albert Einstein.

  Here’s Ralph Morse’s famous photograph of Albert Einstein’s office — just as the Nobel Prize-winning physicist left it — taken mere hours after Einstein died, Princeton, New Jersey, April 1955.

  When asked if he knew the speed of sound, Einstein said he “didn’t carry such information in my mind since it is readily available in books.”

  “VICE: Who’s that adorable little guy on the cover of our magazine this month? I can’t look at him without laughing.

  Bryan: That is Annette’s dog (VICE fashion editor). His name is Finn, and Asher Levine made that outfit specifically for him. He’s an Italian greyhound.
  
  He looks ashamed.
  I think he was ashamed. We did the shoot as quickly as we could, but he was tired and cold. He was better than some of the other dogs. His outfit fit him nicely and he wore it well. The other dogs couldn’t wait to get out of theirs.

  Were the dogs pretty well behaved for the most part?
  No! They were terrible. They were all psychopaths. The bartender dog at Humps, the strip club, kept jumping over the bar and attacking the other dogs, and the other dogs were so afraid they wouldn’t get close to him.”

  “He was his own man, and I always found him to be grateful for his own inventions, the books that made it financially possible for him to live as he wished. There was not a false note in what he said or did. It came unforgettably entwined with his original humor. He was incapable of duplicity. That strong character of his—unique in my experience—was significant and instructive to me. Its influence did not end with his death.”
