Copernicus' remains found - verified by DNA

[ernie]

I found this as i caught up on some Dilbert and happened to wander over the Adams' blog today.

I believe it was reported a couple years ago that scientists had believed they found his final resting place in an unmarked grave in the Frombork Cathedral he was thought to have been buried in.

Well they did some DNA testing using 4 hairs found in a book Copernicus owned. Two of those hairs had DNA matching the bones they found.

As Adams' points out in his blog the yahoo writers need to go back to school and figure out that Copernicus never said the Sun was the center of the UNIVERSE but rather the solar system.

Copernicus, eh? Reminds me of a joke...

A guy walks into a store and asks the clerk for a pound of polish sausage.
Clerk replies "sir, are you polish?"
Guy is a bit annoyed and says "well, yes. Is that a problem? If I asked for italian sausage, would you ask me if I'm italian?"
Clerk replies "no"
Guy asks "so why are you asking me if I'm polish?"
Clerk "because this is a hardware store"
