- jonshipman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0kidinthehall, They do, but they don't issue a report when they find that alterboy. It's been a while since anyone famous was found, did you think that archeologists have just been on some long holiday or something?
- peerk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome. Hopefully they'll be able to get some genetic material from his bones so he can be cloned.
What good is science if we don't use it? - baltakatei, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Man, can't a dead guy get some rest?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0how he end up down there?
- dknighton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah...James Cromwell could definitely play Copernicus if his life is ever brought to the big screen.
- KidintheHall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How come its always someone famous that they excavate - how come its not just "Ronnie - the alterboy who never grewup but sure did love candied apples"?
- AllnightChemist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Amazing how the link right next to his head is about a car the size of a molecule, and his discovery was where the sun is. How far genius has come...
- z.unit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0He looks like the guy from Babe lol
That'll do pig, that'' do... - GiBill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Math Genius, to answer you question of how he got down there. It was common practice to bury famous people under the floors of cathedrals. The more famous the person the better the spot. The best spot being underneath the altar. Also the location of many of these burial sites was kept secret as to prevent people from disturbing the graves (so good job there archaeologists). The most interesting thing I think about this is that the man was considered somewhat of a heretic in his time for his writing, yet he was still buried in a church. Well that's our lesson for today class any questions?
( and before everyone goes all freaky on me I know it is an archaeologist job to dig up sites like these I was just kidding) - wolfpupmaui, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I doubt its him...why would the church bury him under or in the church? They excommunicated him because his ideas where deemed heresy. It's only recently (1979ish?) that the Catholic church reinstated him into the communion of the church.
- Superfluous, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0well, people had suggested that the planets revolved around the sun before copernicus. He is famous because he made an accurate model of the solar system that included amazingly accurate distances of the planets from the sun in AU's by using their angle of greatest elongation. sin(angle of greatest elongation) = D(planet to sun)/1AU. Its funny how many great findings use such simple math but such clever and complex thought. Like how eratostenes measured the circumference of the earth... brilliant... purely brilliant
- AllnightChemist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Slashdot's already declaring him found:

Did Rupert Murdoch buy slashdot whilst I slept? - albinoMithos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Well to answer your qeuston about how did he get down there....it was elves who kidnapped him and threw him down there and no a dead guy can't get some rest. Dead guys getting rest would me wrong on every level. :>)
- p014k, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0The Polish bury all their famous people in cathedrals, wheather it be in the crypt or in a basilica.
