#1584: Moments of Inspiration explain

Moments of Inspiration

[Isaac Newton, with curly long hair, sits under a tree. A waning crescent moon can be seen. An apple falls and hits him on the head. There is a caption in a frame that breaks the top border of the main frame:]

Isaac Newton

Apple falling: Bonk

Isaac Newton: Ow!

[Isaac Newton rubs his sore head.]

Isaac Newton: Aha!

[Cueball throws a baseball towards Lise Meitner with short dark hair. (The ball can be seen in the next frame). She turns towards him too late to react and completely fails to even try catching the ball. There is a caption in a frame that breaks the top border of the main frame:]

Lise Meitner

Cueball: Hey Lise! Think fast!

Ball hitting something (off-screen): Crash

[Lise takes her hands to her mouth and she watches the broken porcelain atom lying in two pieces on the floor where it has fallen off a desk. On the desk, three other intact atoms can be seen. The baseball lies behind her.]

Lise Meitner: Oh no! My collection of porcelain atoms!

Lise Meitner:…Hmm.

[Four kids are standing in front of Megan and Charles Darwin (with a big beard and hair behind the ears). All the kids are trying to drink a glass of soda with a straw in them. The first kid is a boy with dark flat hair and sips soda through the straw with his mouth. The next kid is a boy with standing black hair, he tries in vain to drink with his beak open on each side of the glass. The third kid is a girl with her hair in a bun. She tries to get her beak into the glass which she has put on the floor. The last kid is a boy version of Cueball who slurps his soda through the straw. There is a caption in a frame that breaks the top border of the main frame:]

Charles Darwin

Megan: I gave our kids soda, but the ones with beaks always have trouble drinking it.

Charles Darwin: I’ve noticed that…

Boy with flat dark hair: Sip sip

Boy with standing black hair and a beak: Crunch

Girl with her hair in a bun and a beak: Peck peck

Cueball like kid: Sluurp

[A hairy guy is standing in front of Albert Einstein (with wild hair and a mustache), who is holding one hand to his head and has a clock in his other hand. Behind them is a train, with a locomotive at the front and a wagon behind that stretches beyond the frame. Another hairy guy has his head out of the front window of the wagon and is flashing a light towards the other two. In the next three windows can be seen passengers, two with Cueball like heads and one with hair. There is a caption in a frame that breaks the top border of the main frame:]

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein: I wish your twin brother would stop shining lights at us from that train. I can barely see my clock!

Albert Einstein: …Wait!
