| Description | Everything about the paper abstracted above is serious except that the second author is a cat (note his signature). Professor Hetherington explains: 'I had prepared the paper, now called Hetherington and Willard, and was rather proud of the work, considering it suitable for rapid publication in Phys. Rev. Lett. Before I submitted it I asked a colleague to read it over and he said "It's a fine paper but they will send it right back." He explained that this is because of the Editor's rule that the word "we" should not be used in a paper with only a single author. Changing the paper to the impersonal seemed too difficult now that it was all written and typed; therefore, after an evening's thought I simply asked the secretary to change the title page to include the name of the family cat, a Siamese called Chester, sired one summer by Willard (one of the few unfixed male Siamese cats in Aspen, Colorado). I added the initials F D in front of the name to stand for Felix Domesticus and thus created FDC Willard. Book Name: More Random Walks in Science |
