Olympia Academy

Have you heard of Olympia Academy?  In 1902 Einstein and two other friends would meet regularly to discussion their shared interests in philosophy and physics.  Only three years later Einstein published four papers that revolutionized physics. I love the existence of this group.  It tells me that friendship is fertile grounds for genius.

Q: What is the greatest scene in Braveheart?

A: It is when he rides upstairs on a horse and uses a mace to kill an evil dude, and then jumps out of a window while still riding the horse.

This could be discussed, Olympia-academy style.
