Sometimes Einsteinians accuse me of not having a sense of humor - this is a joke, they say. OK - let us assume that what we have here is just one of the innocent and incredibly funny jokes of Neil deGrasse Tyson. This, however, is not a joke:

"The Riverside Church in New York, west portal - upper line, second of right. In 1930, during a stay in New York, Albert Einstein and his wife visited the Riverside Church, too. During the detailed guided tour through the church Einstein was also shown the sculptures at the west portal. He was told that only one of the sculptures there represented a living person, and that was he himself. What Einstein is supposed to have thought in that moment when he heard that information and saw himself immortalized in stone? Contemporaries reported that he looked at the sculpture calmly and thoughtfully."
