How 'bout astronomers? I kinda like the name "Tycho"...

Oooh, yay! You give me a chance to trot out on of my favorite 'factoids'.

Tycho Brahe, the famous astronomer, died ten days after his bladder burst. He had been at a banquet and, as etiquette required, could not leave the table until the King left. Unfortunately, he had drunk too much and his bladder capacity was exhausted. It exploded and he died, poisoned by the waste.

True story. I tell it to people and they can never make it through a movie again, they always have to use the restroom...
