Search for Copernicus Over

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the lost-and-found dept.

blamanj writes "Nikolaus Kopernik, aka Copernicus, father of modern heliocentric theory, was buried in Frombork Cathedral (Poland) after he died in 1543. However, the cathedral's tombs were a mess, and it was unclear exactly where he was. Archaeologists now believe they've found his remains, and are planning to do DNA testing to verify. The search began in 2004."

    I love comments like these. So you've done an analysis and schools there serve 3x more information, eh? If you think that's a measure of quality, then I pity you. I've gone to school in both Europe and the States and I didn't think it was any more challenging over there... There are a lot of factors that determine the quality of education in either place, but I guess that's over your head. Sheesh! And Europeans think that WE'RE arrogant, dumb and ethnocentric...

    Sorry, I don't mean to denigrate the achievements of the great nation of Poland...
