THE BOOK OF
GIANTS
Galileo gets into trouble
Chapter 5
The best thing about all the new fields that opened up during the Renaissance was that it was so easy to be a Giant,
2Because when you’re the first to do something that hasn’t been done for a long time,
3Say, a thousand years,
4There aren’t too many acritics who are qualified to point out that you’re not doing it right.
5And so the Renaissance was suddenly bursting at the seams with new Giants,
6Who were the first and best and brightest in all kinds of areas,
7bAnd said as much to absolutely anybody who would sit still long enough to listen.
