Vatican commemorates Galileo

We laugh at him.
Everyone laughed at Galileo.
Therefore, he is Galileo.
 
From the linked article: "Not until 1992 did the Roman Catholic Church formally admit its 'error' in condemning Galileo's assertions." Did the church actually apologize for their behavior--like saying we're sorry?

The apology is not yet complete. I expect to be canonized within the next 50 years.

You realize that you'll have to die within 45 for that to happen. And be something important to the church (hint: some internet troll pretending to be a historical figure doesn't cut it).

You do realize that Galileo died in 1642, before the Internet was invented by Algore.

1600s: Galileo introduced new ideas to the world and gained aclaim for providing evidence. Enshrined in history for his great accomplishment.
2009: Irrelevant nut makes noise. Everyone laughs at him. Continues to be irrelevant to the entire world. Long forgotten.

I think you made some minor mistakes in what you said. I corrected it above. Is this what you meant?
 
I took French in fifth grade, which in any counting outside the US meant I was ten years old. I normally do not complain about posts in French but, as I know the bitchiest posts are in French, I request the very bitchiest be translated into English so we can all enjoy them.
 
Regarding another thread, I am partially of Norwegian heritage and know that nothing Grandma and Grandpa discussed could be nearly as entertaining as what I, a child of American TV, could imagine. Honest, guys, I may have been 10 but by the mid-60s divorce had become unremarkable and I knew and liked Uncle John before it, and would've like him and his new wife after it. :(
