After the Cassini PSG in Athens the UVIS team convened in Goslar, Germany, for the semi-annual team meeting. Every fourth meeting is held in Germany, hosted by our German colleagues who supplied one of the four instrument channels on the UVIS instrument. Goslar has a very picturesque old town, with buildings dating back to the 12th century. But the last stop on our tour tonight was the shot I just had to post. Punishment for debtors in medieval Goslar were humiliatedwas humiliation by being forced to sit, with no pants, on a stone beneath this statue mounted on the corner of an administrative building in the town square. That’s a coin protruding from the statue.
12th century??? no… surely not! No one was alive then.
By the way, that’s Eddie Izzard.
