The funniest thing ever to land in my inbox,

from one who shall remain nameless:
“It isn’t often I get to read an analysis of a mathematical theory of color constructed in three-dimensional space, written in 1220 by a Medieval bishop. Yes yes, I know, it doesn’t take much to keep me amused…”

Was this Grosseteste’s three dimensional theory utilising the three binomial co-efficients (3/1, 3/2, 3/3) by any chance?

  Probably so, Wabbit. He was a polymath who was way ahead of his time and an early proponent of the ‘scientific method’ which did not enter mainstream Western thinking until the Enlightenment/Renaissance. There is a good article here if you’re interested:

  likewise, Darin, but as this was a 260lb Russian female of unknown sexual predilections how can we be sure it actually was an accident?

      There I was, going from the good Bishop to other places the article led me–such as the dreaded Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics (shudder) memory……
