Here is one that you will probably either know or not know. Y'all are smart, so I don't think it will last long.
Who am I? I was born into poverty. My mom was a witch, and my great-aunt, the woman who raised my mom, was executed for being a witch. A book I wrote was used as evidence in my Mom's trial for witchcraft. I had poor eyesight, but worked in a field known for using observation with one's eyes. I also collaborated with an aristocratic scientist who literally had a golden nose. Some people have accused me of murdering him by poisoning him, but I didn't. In any event, we both worked for this guy--
Several sorcerers, alchemists, and astrologers also worked for him. Lastly, I have several scientific laws named after me, and one of them is found in a book of the occult that I wrote.
