Again

And not just another wimpy-nerd-scholar that Tycho, eh? From your source:

"Scientists are interested in Brahe's skull, as well. The astronomer had part of his nose sliced off in a 1566 duel with a fellow nobleman as a student in the German city of Rostock, and the missing piece was replaced by a metal plate.

"It's been a fantastic day for us," he said. "We've been waiting so long. All of us are happy."

And that Johannes Kepler...I always thought he was fishy...
