Don't mess with Bérubé!
"I can take Kuhn’s examples about phlogiston and X-rays and shit, and I can extrapolate them to Charles Messier’s late-eighteenth century catalog of stellar objects, or the early controversy over the determination of the Hubble constant, or the 1965 discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation by Penzias and Wilson. GET IT? So don’t mess with my goddamn reading of Kuhn. Any of you.”
Just go read it.

Hey, no fair. I was going to have a blog post consisting of nothing but the exact same quotation.
And no, I'm not gonna mess with MB. Did you see that picture on his blog?
Yeah, I should have actually said something about it, but I'm travelling and it caught me on the wrong side of the preparations...
Way I figure, the more links to interesting stuff, the better. So just because one of us does something doesn't mean others shouldn't, quite the contrary.
Google bomb: Kuhn and shit!
