I would also add that its more likely that a discoverer is not a lucky scientist so much as a hard working one. Case in point is Hans Krebs and others whose years of painstaking measurement and experimentation led to the description of the eponymous cycle.

Had to look up Lady Marmalade to realize it is the title of a well known song with a, shall we say, rather naughty refrain. Pardon my French!

John McPhee has been a favorite of mine ever since buying "The Deltoid Pumpkin Seed" 50+ years ago in a Cape Cod bookstore. I've read nearly all of his work since.

@Jeanne You reminded me of watching, er, reruns, of the uncreatively named "Patty Duke Show" in which she played identical twin cousins. Never figured out the genetics of that...

Waiting for FOBO (fear of a better option) to appear. Sometimes I get that when I fill in a crossword answer doubtfully with no crosses to confirm.
