Mine is that some people don't consider viruses alive. These people are fucking stupid because giruses exist as do virophages. Like yes unalive things literally hunting other unalive things totally makes sense.

One of the guys who invented modern Tonality (the foundation of western music's structure) was the lutenist Vincenzo Galilei, the father of Galileo Galilei. He was not a particularly rich man and only moderately famous in his day, being outshined by the proto-Florentine camerata who (with his blessing) used his work.

Here is a song of his. Shockingly modern for a 16th century piece.
