A singer from down under who likes to get physical and whose songs will not BORe you, a man who drove an Oldsmobile and who I'm sure kept his EYEs ON STAINs, a man who was almost GOREd by a car when he was younger, a young woman who used to CART hER cat around her big house, a young Mexican man whose dad made his mark by the pen and now wants to MARK HIS life by design and a young chief favored by a great man and who might soon carry the man's MANTLE (HA! says the former family). What do these six people have in common?

Eduard (Ted) Einstein appears to be Albert Einstein's great-grandson. Quote: Ted once appeared in a commercial driving a new Oldsmobile, touting its worth and declaring, “You don’t have to be an Einstein to figure that out.” http://discovermagazine.com/2008/mar/lesser-god/article_view?b_start:int=1&-C= Aug 04 08, 4:06 PM
