April 19, 1906 –
It was a rainy day in Paris. One of those days that song writers write about. Nobel-winning chemist Pierre Curie was preoccupied and in a hurry. He tried to run across the street and did not look both ways. He slipped and then was hit and run over by a horse drawn vehicle. His skull was badly fractured.
Kids’ once again – Your mother is always right. Just because you’re a Nobel winning – look both ways before crossing.
And so it goes
