Dan Liebert, Verbal Cartoonist. By Dan Liebert www.verbalcartoonist.com - - - - New Proofs for Einstein's Theory of Relativity. 1. Did you ever sit on a train that isn't moving and then the train next to you starts to lurch forward and you feel like your train is going backward? Isn't that nauseating? 2. Or you can't wait for that big piece of cheesecake. Oh boy! Cheesecake! And five minutes later you can't imagine ever eating cheesecake again. - - - - PREVIOUS VERBAL CARTOONS - - - - New Proofs for Einstein's Theory of Relativity (7/23/08) Gaia (6/30/08) Why?
