it is an image honoring Nicolas Steno 374th birthday. very nice design.
so, wondering who Nicolas was, i clicked on the image and went to the wikipedia article.
Nicolas Steno (1 January 1638 – 25 November 1686[1][2] [NS: 11 January 1638 – 5 December 1686][1]) was a Danish Catholic bishop and scientist who pioneered in both anatomy and geology. By 1659, Steno had decided not to accept a statement as true simply because it was written in a book, but rather to rely on his own research.seems like the more things change, the more they stay the same.

or
what's old is new again.
i like what i read in someone's signline the other day.
"everyone is entitled to their own opinion. they're not entitled to their own truth."
be like Nicolas and use your brain, please.
