2009 is the year of Astronomy, it’s also the year that Prof Stephen Hakings intends to resign as the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University. While surfing this week i came across this rather striking replica of the Big Brain, and couldn’t resist a little tribute to one of the greatest minds of our time.

“19th century coal miners would traditionally take canaries in cages down into the mine with them. The birds would act as an early warning system for carbon monoxide gas. When the canary stopped singing the miner would know that he had to escape the chamber he was in.”
“This particular yellow canary was obviously a favoured pet as well as a working bird. Inscribed with the legend : ‘In Memory of Little Joe. Died November 3rd 1875. Aged 3 Years’”
