Last night was a scary night and it was not Halloween. It was stormy dark night. The wind was strong. The lightnings were too bright. The thunders were too loud. It was a scary night. Something told me it was going to be a strange night. I don't remember at what time I fell asleep, but I do remember I had this dream with Albert Einstein himself--The Albert Einstein.

He was standing there, tired-looking, in front of a blackboard with a white chalk in his hand which he held nervously. I was sitting in one of the last rows of the classroom. He looked straight at me and with a heavy-deep voice said:

Einstein: You, with the white shirt and glasses, what is your name?
Me: Who? Me?, are you talking to me, Professor?
Einstein: Yes, I'm talking to you. Do you hear me back there?
Me: Yes sssir, I can hear you clearly. My name is... is... is... Epiac.
Einstein: Epiac? What an ackward name. Do you understand what I mean by relativity?
Me: Well Professor, I can't say that I do, but I'm working on it.
Einstein: Why are you here? What is it you want for your future?
Me: If I say it Professor, will you help me? You have the brightest mind of any man alive. That's what everybody says around here in campus.
Einstein: That depends. If my bright mind, as you say, can think of something, I could help you. Maybe. It all depends. What's your petition, young man?
Me: I have this blog in the Internet, Professor. The name is Epiac's Place and I want to attract as many visitors to my site as I can. I know this is not exactly relativity, but if you say "Epiac is equal to success", people will believe you, and a lot of them will visit my site. (I felt so stupid after saying that, but it was my golden opportunity. It was my fifteen minutes of fame.)
Einstein: Mmmm. I'll think about it. Epiac's Place? Internet? Blog? Such nonsense.

Einstein turned around and continued with his class and I continued with my sleep while the wind pounded the trees outside the house. When I woke up this morning, the first thing that came to my mind was that peculiar dream with none other than Albert Einstein. "I must be loosing my senses", I said, as I walked towards my computer to see my blog's statistics. After booting the system, and clicking my blog's URL address, I couldn't believe my eyes. In front of me was this unbelievable black and white image. This is what I saw, shining brightly in my computer screen:
