Very interesting article.

Dr. Snow’s discovery was fictionalized on a BBC series, but I can’t remember which one.

I believe that it was one of the episodes of "Victoria" ...

I think that most people are unaware of just how incredibly Louis Pasteur managed to stumble his way into immortality because of his stuff with the chickens.

He entered a contest that required new chickens but he used the chickens from the prior year and completely violated the King's rules.

His reused chickens had developed immunities, and they won some grand prize,yet in the process they finally discovered that they could develop new vaccines which would ultimately save the lives of millions of people.

Sure it is complicated stuff, but how many streets are named after you?

Pasteur blundered his way Into immortality.

How will you get there?
