What’s in a name?

Coincidences can be quite ironic some times. Take today’s news about Germany’s defence minister resignation after being accused of plagiarism. His name? Karl-Thodor zu Guttenberg. The accusation (confirmed by him)? Copying his PhD thesis from other sources. The irony? Herr Guttenberg’s last name is just one more letter than the more illustrious inventor of mechanical movable type printing, Johannes Gutenberg.

It must be the name. It must be.
