swatkat: knight - er, morgana - in shining underwear (grave)
[personal profile] swatkat
There was a quaint gentleman who would visit the bookfair every year. Unlike most of us, he didn't go there to buy/sell books, or to even hang out and eat junk food. He went there to propagate a scientific theory: the sun goes around the earth once every year. He would have complicated diagrams to prove his theory, and little pamphlets that explained things in detail. He would even draw graffiti in some places to prove his point. I would watch him curiously every year, but I never quite gathered the courage to go and speak to him.

This was, of course, a while ago. I've had a busy few years, shuttling between two cities and in the meantime I'd forgotten all about him. I came home last Wednesday for ten days; today, I was pleasantly surprised when I spotted this bit of graffiti: 'The sun goes round the earth once a year. Challenge for scientists!'

It's good to know that some things are still the same.
