Guys, guys, did you know sir Isaac Newton was an alchemist? Well, I didn't until I played a reeeal old Trivial Pursuit game (let's just say Queen Victoria is still the English monarch that ruled for longer in this game).

Of course I had to check that out. Of course I had to throw some Fullmetal Alchemist on it. I also had to throw Pink Floyd in there, because the balance of the Universe depended on it. Of course I hid an apple somewhere in the drawing too, why make a reference to his work with prismas and not the thing he's universally known for? And of course I should be in bed right now, but who cares? I made Isaac Newton trying to create a Philosopher's Stone... I guess he still doesn't know what the secret ingredient is...

Now for all the deserved credits:

*All the weird flasks, symbols and thingys were taken from the images available in Wikipedia. If you have important things to do, DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy&… ;
*Those symbols in the book that are barely visible? Yes, they're actually in Newton's works about alchemy. Found them here webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/newto… Once again, DON'T CLICK HERE IF YOU HAVE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO. You may get lost and never return.
*Last but not least, that tiny telescope in the back is supposed to be the first prototype of Newton's telescope. Heard about it in this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ESW_N… I don't have to repeat the warnings, do I?
