Belle et Bonne looked up from reading Einstein's email.
This is funny, she said.
We know, said The VeloDrone, but is it supposed to be? That's what we want you to find out.
Leave it to me, Papa, said Belle et Bonne.
She began to type:
Dear Mr Einstein,
As you are aware, your recent submission to our magazine Velosophy is full of hilarious typos. The editors have not stopped cackling all morning. However, as their Personal Assistant, I am taking it upon myself to check certain matters with you before we go to publication. I ask you therefore to re-read your article and answer the following questions:
1.) Your working formula currently reads BB=PGG=M=0. Is this correct? Did you mean it to read B=PG=M=0 ?
2.) Please confirm the inclusion of the sentence which reads: Of course I do not expect the general community to understaaaand it.
3.) Please confirm the spelling of understaaaand, if the sentence is to be included.
4.) Please confirm the inclusion of the sentence Oh damn!
5.)Please confirm the inclusion of the sentence which reads: Thee bacspac butto is stuc ag!!!! has a min of its own.
6.) Please confirm the spelling of the following words: Thee, backspac, butto, stuc, ag, min, if the sentence is to be included.
7.)Please confirm that you wished to sign the article: AEEEEEEEE
I await your earliest reply,
Yours faithfully,
Belle et Bonne
Personal Assistant to The Editors
There, said Belle et Bonne. That should do it.
Steady on, my dear, said The VeloDrone. It's a bit....direct, isn't it?
Course it is, said Belle et Bonne, pressing the send button.

Einstein's Unification Theory
Gentlemen! My mind is on fire! So many concepts to unify! Please find enclosed my first submission to your magazine entitled:
The Unification Theory of Bicycle-Photograffiti Appearances ( a working title).
I have long been a fan of graffiti. Imagine my surprise when I saw, appearing on various walls around our city, a series of graffiti depicting the famous photograph of myself on a bicycle. Is it really me? I wondered, at first. Many people commented that it looked more like a photo of a lady. When I looked hard at it I realised that this was true. It was an elderly lady wearing my trousers and my cardigan, her hair blown back in the wind, a shadow on her upper lip cast by the sun overhead, smiling joyfully as she sped toward the camera. On a carpark wall her message seemed to be: Get out of your cars you slackers, ride a bike like me! If I can do it so can you! On the other hand I knew very well that the photograph was of myself. Was I not wearing my own trousers and my own cardigan? My hair was blown back by the wind and my moustache was in full view for all to see. My message was clear: Yes people! I thought of the Law of Relativity while riding my bicycle!
So here we have a bicyclical instance of the unification of gender, of graffiti, of photography and to a certain extent, of message. Let us now call the bicycle BB. Let us call the message M.
Several weeks later the bicycle graffiti photographs were expunged by the city council workers, which was a shame as they had been quite popular. What then of BB? What of M? What indeed of P and G and the other G? ( which are what you think they are ).
This is where my attempt at a scientific unification meets the cutting edge of philosophy. What had we left after the council had done their work? Nothing. Zero. Equality. Unification of everything: man, woman, photograph, smile, moustache, trousers, cardigan, graffiti, bicycle, message. Thus I have come up with a working formula, BB =PGG= M= 0.
Of course I do not expect the general community to understaaaand it. Oh damn! Thee backspac butto is stuc ag !!! has a min of its own ....AEEEEEEEE
