This is a gift to all science-loving-French-bashers. I don’t want to ruin the fun by describing it further.

Bonus! You can buy a flying monkey here.

Sigh: A reader misses out on all the fun:

Howdy Jonah,
Your mention of Copernicus, I am assuming, is in reference to the common misconception that he was the one who first suggested a heliocentric universe. There are strong reasons to believe that it was, in fact, Aristarchus of Samos who first proffered the concept almost 2000 years before Copernicus, but it was such a far out concept that the book in which he first suggested it didn’t survive. In fact, the only reference I’ve heard to his theory was in that book by Archimedes where he was trying to figure out how many grains of sand it would take to fill the universe.
Happy Tuesday.
Thanks, Doug
