An Old Friend with a New Trick

 
Scholars,

I just came across this article.  It appears that our old friend, Vladimir, was not just a literary phenom, but a budding scientist as well.  His theory about butterflies has been vindicated.  This just goes to show what a great selection Lolita was for our esteemed council.

Isn't it amazing what the unteathered gifted mind is capable of doing? Vladi was so intellectually brillant!

The man was clearly a genius.

Rather than start a thread for this, I felt as if it fit nicely under "An Old Friend with a New Trick." The link is to an article in a recent New Yorker about our friend, the oft-criticized Mr. Wilde. Enjoy.
