Talk politics.

Given that this is "Science and Technology" month, I thought I'd share this amazingly awesome anecdote (see link) about Thomas Kuhn (one of the most important philosophers of science in recent history) and Errol Morris, his erstwhile graduate student.  It's a wonderful story illuminating (a) the politics of graduate school and (b) a form of argument (The Ashtray Argument) that only my lack of physical proximity has prevented me from using with some of my talk_politics  interlocutors, although I don't see it here, and (c) even an interesting question about Kuhn's philosophy. I suppose that this incident provides important evidence for those inclined to see heavy Wittgensteinian influences on Kuhn. 

(Also, Kuhn smoked 6 or 7 packs of cigarettes/day, crazy!!)

ETA (per mod request): This is an anecdote about Thomas Kuhn throwing an ashtray at one of his graduate students when the graduate student asks a question about the fundamentals of Kuhn's phil. of sci.
