Interestingly enough it did not show any dwarfs in the preview. Which is odd.

Also, the woodsman haunts my dreams and I think he is a bad guy. He seems to have taken the dwarfs place in the title.

I am thinking it will be a story about snow white being hunted down by a assassin known only as "the woodsman" though midevil England.

Edit: At first I thought it would be robin hood. Then I thought it was king Arther. Still. It certainly looks awesome.

Apparently it's early Christian doctrine that math = Satan.

St Augustine: "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell." [St. Augustine (354-430) , DeGenesi ad Litteram, Book II, xviii, 37]

Well, it's about the same attitude some people have toward science now, so it's not really that surprising.

Huh. Of course, then a mathrmatician wasn't quite the same as a mathematician today. The second half of that first line makes me think he's not talking about Vector.

In those days, "Mathematician" meant "Someone who uses mystical numbers to foretell the future." In other words, it was a form of divination magic. All forms of divination are condemned in christian tradition. Actual mathematicians in the sense that we use the word to day were actually encouraged by the church. (Likewise, one of the saints was canonized partially because he developed a primitive theory of evolution.) The "anti-science" bent of the historical Church has been greatly exaggerated, with the bulk of historical cases having to do with other behaviors of the scientist in question.

Early church != medieval church. One is more willing to accept new things, partially because they were accepting a religion that had practically just been founded.

Often overlooked in popular history, but well-documented, is that Galileo was a huge asshole. Several other astronmers were advocates of Copernican theory at the time. The reason that he was the only one brought up on charges for with was his massively insulting manner in which he posited his position. To use an analogy, if Darwin had gone up to the pope, whipped out his dick, and said "this is what makes organisms change, bitch" he would be almost as insulting as Galileo was.

So, what you're saying is that Galileo Dick-slapped everyone with his massive Star-penis?

Seems legit.
