Vanderbilt and the Yeggman. Vipers. Vigor, the Hammersmith wonder.

While I would like to see more history of science taught in schools, there is probably some benefit to be gained from the "handed down on stone tablets" school of teaching it simply as a counter to "well, MY mummy and daddy say that the stork brought me and God created us all, and they're ALWAYS right". It's not a whole lot different from the way that various topics are taught differently in junior school, at GCSE, at A-level, on degree courses, etc.

I'm just trying to remember if/when I was taught about flat earth theory. Might've been history, might've been physics, entirely plausible it was both.
