  1. What a silly thing to say about Tycho Brahe in that geniuses article – dwarfs (dwarves?) were extremely popular for entertainment among the rich in those days. Though I don’t know why he had his dwarf sit silently under the dinner table while dressed as a clown… And no mention of Tycho’s golden nose and his wild drunken parties! He’s such an interesting figure. Instead all this about a dwarf. Lord Byron sounds like a good movie could be made of him though.

  3. a spaghetti-eating cat?! why wasn’t i watching the MandJ Show that day?!

    and in the spirit of the commenters- it is said that if the sun suddenly stopped shining, it’d be eight minutes until we knew. Michael Phelps would know eight minutes before it happened.
