Newton - "the sole mortal who could grapple, Since Adam, with a fall or with an apple." — Byron

A calculus fit to compute on, White light and a head to drop fruit on, A mind to absorb it, And soar into orbit — That's all that it takes to be Newton. — Gina Berkeley

My favorite:

Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night:

God said, Let Newton be!

And all was light.

-- Alexander Pope

Is that so ?

I have to email hn@news.ycombinator.com about it. Those Apples are just too freaking expensive to throw around like that, Dang.
