This done brung to my attention by Hillary, of course.
1. I’ve never attended the universities of Copenhagen and Leipzig.
2. I’ve never bought any astronomical instruments.
3. I’ve never lost part of my nose in a duel with another student.
4. I’ve never worn a metal insert over the part of nose that I’ve never missed.
5. I’ve never observed the new star in Cassiopeia.
6. I’ve never been convinced that the improvement of astronomy hinged on accurate observations.
7. I’ve never accepted an offer from King Frederic II to fund an observatory.
8. I’ve never been given the little island of Hven in the Sont near Copenhagen.
9. I’ve never trained a generation of young astronomers in the art of observing.
10. I’ve never settled in Prague as the Imperial Mathematician at the court of Emperor Rudolph II.
