Eno et Ikaël, или Сакральность

[mitrius]

Интересно, сторонники теории о сакральности русских ругательств (Борис Успенский и др.) обращали ли внимание на то, что русская азбука (заведомо сакральная в глубокой древности) в новейшее время и уже с новыми названиями букв используется в качестве ругательств: ёклмн, ёпрст и т. п.?

кстати, а вы поняли, почему имено Лобачевский?
как он связан с плагиатом?

Вроде бы никак. Я думаю, это автосатира — в записи концерта к песне идёт такой конферанс:

For many years now, Mr. Danny Kaye, who has been my particular idol since childbirth, has been doing a routine about the great Russian director Stanislavsky and the secret of success in the acting profession. And I thought it would be interesting to ste... to adapt this idea to the field of mathematics. I always like to make explicit the fact that before I went off not too long ago to fight in the trenches, I was a mathematician by profession. I don't like people to get the idea that I have to do this for a living. I mean, it isn't as though I had to do this, you know, I could be making, oh, 3000 dollars a year, just teaching.

Be that as it may, some of you may have had occasion to run into mathematicians and to wonder therefore how they got that way, and here, in partial explanation perhaps, is the story of the great Russian mathematician Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky.
