Scientists exhume Danish astronomer's remains

PRAGUE (AP) -- An international team of scientists was opening the tomb of a famous 16th-century Danish astronomer Monday in an effort to shed light on his sudden and mysterious death.

Tycho Brahe, who was born in 1546, has been buried in the Church of Our Lady Before Tyn near Prague's Old Town Square since his death in 1601. Brahe was in Prague at the invitation of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II after he left his scientific observatory on the island of Hven over disagreements with the Danish king.

It had been long thought he died of a bladder infection. A famous legend said it was a result of his hesitation to break court etiquette during a reception by leaving for a toilet.

But tests conducted in 1996 in Sweden and later in Denmark on samples of his mustache and hair - obtained during a previous 1901 exhumation - indicated unusually high levels of mercury, leading to a theory of mercury poisoning, even possible murder.

2. Common link of suspected foul play

President Hugo Chavez has opened the coffin Simon Bolivar as Venezuela investigates the president's suspicions of foul play in the South American independence hero's death nearly two centuries ago.

A team of more than 50 forensic experts will carry out DNA testing on the remains to detemine whether Bolivar died of tuberculosis or fell victim to a plot.

6. An OP outside of LBN

can have any title. As it happens - in this case it was perintent. If you cannot grasp that may I recommend Sesame Street to you.

7. sorry, I don't understand your second sentence

It does not appear to use English grammar. What's this about sesame street?

8. title of article: Danish astronomer's remains exhumed in Prague

which has nothing to do with Bolivar or the Latin American forum

9. Haven't you noticed different rules pertain to all OTHER forums outside LBN?

Try to note the difference.

Most clearly the same act in another country has EVERYTHING to do with an act which drew stupid fire for Hugo Chavez here.
