Please somebody dig up the Einstein vid. I'm dying from curiosity. Yahoo video search failed
.
(At least it found the cutest animal video I have ever seen: Einstein, the talking parrot who does animal sounds and sci-fi laser gun sounds. Just search Einstein if you wanna see it.)

i tried searching for both videos, but didn't have a whole lot of luck.
maybe i tricked myself into thinking the einstein thing, but you know that guy had to have been doing some cool tricks back in the day.

Smoother version of Edison movie
And, while we're at it, how about a turn of the century striptease on a trapeze?
