Astronomer Galileo dies in Italy
Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei dies in Italy at age 77. Born February 15, 1564, Galileo has been referred to as the "father of modern astronomy," the "father of modern physics" and the "father of science" due to his revolutionary discoveries. The first person to use a telescope to observe the skies, Galileo discovered the moons of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, sunspots and the solar rotation.

After Galileo published his confirmation that the Earth orbits the Sun, in favour of the Copernican system, he was charged with heresies by the Inquisition – the legal body of the Catholic church. He was found guilty in 1633 and sentenced to life imprisonment but due to his age and poor health he was allowed to serve out his sentence under house arrest.
 
p.s.: Inquisitor bastards!
 
I wonder if they still have Inquisitors! I bet they do.
 
Fucking Catholics.
 
He's not dead. He's living with Morrison and Elvis in a secret superhero lair. I heard they were all going to be on CBB, or maybe The Surreal World, soon.
 
They might also be on the new Fox reality show "Sex with Death Guys" where you try to dig up the most famous dead guy you can and have sex with his corpse.
 
It cut out before the song!
 
I think it takes place after the song, actually.
 
:D




p.s. smiling on the outside but inside I'm crying: bring back karma!


I.Must.Give.Karma.
 
I only know of Indigo Girls as punchlines in lesbian jokes.
 
I thought this was going to be about Patrick Moore.
 
The headline would have been "GREATEST MAN TO EVER LIVE TRAGICALLY DIES" if it was.
 
He's not dead.

Yes, he is dead. I've been to his grave in Chiesa Santa Trinita in Florence. His sepulcher is only a few feet away from the empty one claiming to contain Dante Alligheri. Dante's real corpse is somewhere outside of Bologna.
 
^been there, too!
ah, Firenze...like a jewel box...
 
Good movie to watch if you're missing Florence, Hannibal.

The locals were incredibly upset because at the time of the filming of that movie, there was an actual serial killer running around out there. They even make reference to it in the movie.
 
I'm giving very serious thought...to eating your wife.
 
Played by the gorgeous Fancesca Neri.
