12. My first thought was “Spike Milligan”.
    Nicolaus Copernicus – worked out heliocentrism, wrote the Goon Show, and died.

27. Pedantic bastard here. They’ve found a body buried near the altar of the cathedral where the astronomer-Canon worked, or served, or whatever you call it. DNA from the remains matches that from hair found in a book owned by Copernicus. Therefore it’s the same bloke – probably Copernicus, but maybe not. A suitable bit of uncertainty about a man who caused rather a lot.

28. I kind agree with valdemar although i fail to understand the use of the phrase “caused a lot” i would say and am indeed saying that the man discovered a lot without the intention to cause something.
