Can anyone name any famous scientists who were also clerics or church ministers as I am trying to identify a photograph of such a person dressed in a cleric outfit that looks 19th or 20th century, wearing round spectacles?

You could possibly be looking at Gregor Mendel, the famous geneticist, who was a monk. Many experiments in genetics on pea plants and the like. I believe he was Austrian, and lived around 18th or 19th century. Jul 09 01, 8:26 PM

I am trying to find the name of a comic book series that was set in space with the characters wearing roman dress (and I have the idea that one of the characters was called Trajan, but can't be sure). It was in some almanacs at my school library in the early 1980's. Can anyone help? I am still trying to find the correct answer for 'Mountains of Decay'. I have asked the person for any clues and this is what she has supplied: Think back to when you were younger. It is along the lines of science (but not science fiction) - so ask a science teacher. It is very simple - nothing technical. All I can think of is teeth, brain, tonsils but am still at a loss. Can anyone else help here? Quizmail 104 Can anyone give any clues regarding people whose names are also planets or satellites in the solar system (the stage surname of an exotic 20th century film actress and dancer) ? I am trying to remember the name of this American author, who I think lived around the late 1800's and wrote many 'rags to riches' stories. Can anyone jog my memory?
