Sir Arthur Conan Doyle believed in fairies. A green elf climbed through George Ellery Hale's window and told him to get money from Rockefeller for the world's (then) largest telescope. Newton was a practising alchemist.

If science wants you to come home and meet its mother, don't fall for it - it's a trap.

Thanks for the tip! I'm not ready for wrath of Mother Nature yet :o
Science wasn't even my specialist subject, but you would have thought it was how much I go on about it.
