fun facts (and sad ones too)

Обнаружил, что:

1. Эль Греко звали Доменико Теотокопули;
2. слово «сифилис» — это имя больного из итальянской пьесы XVI века;
3. во время пражской дефенестрации 1618 года представители Империи были выброшены не куда-нибудь, а в кучу навоза;
4. Больцман повесился;
5. кроме того, с собой покончили Ляпунов, Хаусдорф, Тьюринг и Танияма.

А Эренфест застрелился — добавляет kapahel.

For reasons he was unable to explain, even to himself, Taniyama committed suicide. He left a note explaining how far he had gotten with his teaching duties, and apologizing to his colleagues for the trouble he was causing them. His mystifying suicide note read "Until yesterday I had no definite intention of killing myself. ... I don't quite understand it myself, but it is not the result of a particular incident, nor of a specific matter."

About a month later, Misako Suzuki, the girl whom he was planning to marry, also committed suicide.
