When they said he was a friar in Bio, for some reason I thought he came from waaaaay earlier in history.

Also, I don't know why, but I found this, and it's amazing:

That is amazing! Im sad he never continued.

He tried to breed bees but failed, see one of my other comments. Also, he was a devout Christian priest and his findings were challenging his faith.

No I meant the minecraft sheep guy. Unless you did too haha

No but it would be funny if a Christian Minecraft player had questions about his faith after pushing to implement a flower and bee breeding mechanic.

Maybe he continued, and what he found out was too dangerous to tell the world? Where is that guy or gal now? What happened?

And who the fuck cued the X-Files theme?

Well, his research was very sound by modern standards, mostly adhering to the scientific method. It would be very untimely 200 or more years prior. His paper (even in its original form!) is understandable by any modern intelligent person who can read German cursive.
