Maybe it was used in a bizarre logical game with a wolf and a cabbage.

don't see how. The drenched and pissed off ram would beat the crap out of the human then the wolf and then stop for lunch.

Not if the wolf has been used as a windvane in a storm.

Misreading the sources, Isidore suggested in naval battles that the Romans "rammed" their enemies, by forcing them to eat so much mutton their foes got loggy and didn't care about the battle. Then they rammed a corvus into their spine.

Johannes Kepler, like Newton, was a genius of terrific genius of immense importance. But he had a really really stupid wrong idea that he never gave up on. Much of his real genius came through trying (and failing) to prove his stupid wrong idea. What was that idea?

Not sure what more to say.  The world is the center of the universe and the sun and planets are like on the inside of a sphere that revolves around the world, or something like that.  It's a variation on the classical view of cosmology.

Ok, Kepler's Idea has to do with nature of these spheres and how they relate to matter itself.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
