    Is there no limit to your knowledge, oh wise one of clattering bones? Next time it's my turn I'll go with some obscure finnish person, of whom you've never heard of! :grin:

    But now, the name of this person would be..? Not Hendrik, but...

    edit: or should I just pass this on to DarkStrider already? (not being quite sure about the right procedure, since I'm still wet behind the ears in here...)

    It's really getting annoying with you people who post things like "I know but I'm not saying" or "He was in the same school as so-and-so". Either say who it is or stop with the obscureness. :nolike: It makes dummies like me even more dummies. :p

    Nope, more recent, even if he's quite as dead in his physical form, but I'm sure his work still goes on...in some form or another...

    I'm sorry, but that is NOT HOW THIS GAME IS PLAYED. Without confirmation or denial, we have to wait 24h from the last guess before going on, and then it's first come-first serve. If your statement implies you won't be online in the next 24h, so be it, but see below...


    However, I really couldn't care less who goes next, and I certainly don't want the honours myself, but I *DO* want, by all that is holy, to KNOW THE ANSWER.

    I'm sorry, but IT'S THE **** TITLE OF THE **** THREAD!!! who said that To put this up here and NOT tell us <thread title> is just frickin RUDE. :toofar:


    EDIT: okay, if Ichor doesn't come back in time, could someone who "knows but doesn't want to say" please TELL ME when you IJA?

    @kuemper and those interested: http://www.psy.pdx.edu/PsiCafe/KeyTheorists/Lorenz.htm
    He was a zoologist and ethologist not a physicist, at least not what I think of when I think of physicists which is rarely.

    @Enagonios don't feel bad it is a matter of luck. There are 2 or 3 people here who seem to have eclectic memories.

    Robert Heinlein

    Take Back Your Government

    Can't remember which character said it but my favorite quote of his is:

    "Of all the so-called natural human rights that have ever been invented, liberty is least likely to be cheap and is never free of cost."

    Right, Arahar, Your turn.

    To be fair he used this or a similar quote frequently I was thinking of:

    Jubal E. Harshaw in Stranger in a Strange Land

    Lazarus Long also used a similar quote.

    Heinlein has a lot of quotes I concsider great but many would be a little too controversal.

    Cinema has only been around for about 100 years. Has all of the world's violence towards women taken place only within the past 100 years?
