17 February: On this date in 1600 C.E. the great philosopher and cosmologist Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for having theologically incorrect theories on god, the universe and everything. Among the many ideas that got him into trouble, he taught that the Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the Sun, the Sun itself being just one of many other stars in the universe. Imagine that. His sarcasm did not help his cause, and he never suffered fools. But the fools burned him.

This blog will be updated more than my other one (“Zenwind,” linked below). This blog will be more of a monthly one, while "Zenwind" is my main blog as a climbing log and for important articles, reviews and poems. . . . . “Not all those who wander are lost.” – Bilbo Baggins.
