	In Response To: Re: heh, oops (john zero) : Funny you should mention astronomers. That's who Tycho was. Tycho Brahe was a : 16th-century Danish-born Swedish astronomer and mathematician who advanced : the young science with his new instruments and good math. Johannes Kepler : was a contemporary and associate of Brahe's. Tycho was also a rather : Falstaffian character. He liked a good time, and having had his nose : disfigured in a duel (over how good a mathematician he was), he wore a : gold-colored prosthetic nose-plate. : They named the crater after him. And now he has his own web site. : Now, who was the original Leela? : /jzero That makes a lot of sense, for I believe that Tycho (in 'thon) was chief computer of the science dept. Right? He cranked and complained about having to readjust instruments all the time. A lot of those instruments were for looking at stars and heavenly bodies. (the gaseous kind, not the humans) Although, if he was such a phat computer, why didn't the humans just give him the job of discovering everything? He was certainly smart enough. He was Chief of Everything™ on pfhor prime. That was a big job. Shem
