Abstract
The World Year of Physics 2005 celebrates Einstein 1905. Too much celebration of a single character may be hazardous as an example for the younger generation. With such a motto in mind, I comment on some episodes in Einstein's scientific career that are at some extent characterized by what could be dubbed {\it blundering behavior}. The final purpose is obviously to {\it humanize} the personage as opposed tore the current trend of {\it deification}.
