Researchers in Warsaw, Poland believe that they have discovered the remains of the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. Nicolaus Copernicus is famous for identifying the Sun and no the Earth as the center of the universe. His remains were identified from he skeleton they found with hair they retrieved from Copernicus' books. Jerzy Gassowski, an academic at archeology school in Poland says that facial reconstructions of his face resemble portraits of him in a cathedral in Poland. Marrie Allen a Swedish DNA expert, told reporters that the DNA of the bones and teeth match the DNA of the hair found in the books.I believe that this discover is very important to the world, including Canada. I think that it is so important because it may reveal many things about a man who created a theory that is so important to our studies today, as well as it may illuminate more about the past in the terms of how Copernicus lived and actually looked.

This doesn't matter at all. Wonderful, they have his DNA. What now lets examine it and find out that he's closer to apes than he is to us? This is just a scientist thinking hes found something huge. What are they going to do bring him back to life? Imagine, they could. No usefulness what-so-ever.
Sorry for the sinical post, but its true.
