Galileo: Stop the Presses

Somewhere in Italy, in the 17th century.

One beautiful morning, Giovanni is sitting out on his patio, sipping on some espresso and reading the newspaper. His wife comes out of the house and begins hanging up some clothes to dry.

“Listen to this, Maria,” said Giovanni. “On the front page, they say that this fellow Galileo claims that the earth goes around the sun!”

Maria looked up in the sky for a few moments and then replied, “I don’t see anything different,” and went back in the house.
