Born on December 25, 1642 (old style), Sir Isaac Newton was warden and
master of the British Royal Mint for the last 30 years of his life.
His work even touches on U.S. colonial numismatics. Newton had himself
sworn as a justice of the peace so that he could pursue
counterfeiters.


I am moved to add:

Said Newton: "I've got a great notion
That force is a changer of motion.
Let's put it this way:
F equals ma
The rest is just sweat and devotion."

I should've kept quiet, but I often gravitate towards inappropriate
reactions.
