I think that was mentioned in the Walter Isaacson biography. My memory's a bit hazy but I think that wasn't in his mind at the time but he could see its appropriateness when it was pointed out. If I hadn't been cheap and borrowed the book from the library then I might have been able to look it up. > Google has a nice doodle today marking the centenary.

It took me until the last letter to figure out what was going on but I managed to get that one first try :) I'll blame the limoncello...
