[edit] Mythology ROTFLs

Text says:

Fornax, in Roman mythology, was the goddess of bread and baking, although this has nothing to do with the constellation (fornax is just the Roman word for furnace), as the constellation was created in 1763.

Yes, but why then is that written here? ;-) Very interesting facts written with best intent – but that should require an article Fornax (goddess) or some such. In Fornax (constellation) we would need some text about chemical furnaces as they were used in the end of 18th century in order to get a historically proper mnemonic for learning the constellation.

Besides – that text made me hungry, for some reason... Rursus declamavi; 15:43, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
