"I cleave the heavens, and soar to the infinite. What others see from afar, I leave far behind me." - Giordano Bruno

Bruno's universe had no center. "In the Universe," he wrote, "no center and no circumference exist, but the center is everywhere . . ."


Elaborating upon this point he remarked: As to us on Earth, the Earth seems to be the center of the Universe, so to inhabitants of the Moon, the Moon will appear as such ... Each world has its center, each its up and down; these differences are to be assigned relatively . . .

Because of such belief, Bruno was declared a heretic, handed over to secular authorities on February 8, 1600. At his trial he listened to the verdict on his knees, then stood up and said: "Perhaps you, my judges, pronounce this sentence against me with greater fear than I receive it."

He was burned at the stake, naked, with is tongue gagged (ughhh...that's mighty painful).


poor man...

nonsense? depends on whether you're on the same boat as i am. d@mmit! i am stoned out of my friggin' mind. i'm stumped again...arggghhh... i hate being back in the land of arggghhhnesss!!

i've had all i can take about copernicus, galileo and the heliocentric theory. i don't remember doing so much research on this even in highschool.
soo many closes and noooo cigar. i'm not even done with puzzle i've privately labeled mothman, spiderman and green goblin. it's the only way i know of describing it. i got 2 clevers - 1 of which is the taunt which references a previous solved puzzle. just thinking about this puzzle makes my head hurt. all those alien thingies, ufo's, icky looking insects, moths and spiders are driving me bananas! i want to hold on to the chickenjoy i ate for lunch. i just don't see any common denominator that leads me to a close. the mother of all frustrations. at the rate i'm going, i have more chances of being abducted by aliens than solving this! and then there's the creepy puzzle (i refuse to listen to another ghost recording! i hope this doesn't bite me in the butt. but i've had enough listening to ghosts). somebody save me....



i need a noogie, a nudgie, a good nudge, a good whack in the head... anything to jolt my frozen brain cells into a working frenzy....

coffee.... i need coffee!
