This is Carl Linnaeus, the famous Swedish naturalist and taxonomist, who invented the binomial system of naming organisms we still use today (eg 'homo sapiens' or 'rattus rattus')
Well, now. In 1756, Linnaeus fell out with one of his protégés, Daniel Rolander, who refused to show him some plant samples from his expedition to Suriname, which Linnaeus felt he had a right to see.
In response, Linnaeus... broke into Rolander's rooms (or possibly just barged in, it's not clear, but entered by force at any rate) and stole the samples.
Then, he used his influence to black-ball Rolander from any further appointments at Stockholm University, essentially wrecking his career.
And then... he found a tiny, ground-dwelling bug - this one, in fact -
...and gave it the scientific name 'Aphanus Rolandri', or 'Ignoble Rolander'.
What I'm saying is... do not cross Carl Linnaeus. Carl Linnaeus is not messing about.

Still couldn't decide what to call a roadrunner though, could he!
When you read about Linnaeus, did you by any chance stumble upon Johann Georg Siegesbeck? Siegesbeck strongly disagreed with Linnés classification system based on sexual attributes as well as the scandalously explicit language Linné used in his books (and it actually is rather, well, blunt - especially for the time). So Siegesbeck openly disputed Linnaeus and used his position in St. Petersburg to withhold plant delieveries from Russia and Sibiria in order to impede his progress.
Linneaus on the other hand named a plant after Siegesbeck, Sigesbeckia serrata, a little prickly weed with extremely sticky seedcases. Seedcases that stick everywhere and annoy the hell out of you, since they are almost impossible to get rid of.
So petty revenge seems to have been quite a specialty of Linnaeus. But then again, when coming up with a new and groundbreaking nomenclature, maybe a lot of us would take the chance to take a dig or two ...
If you were to cross Linnaeus, what would you cross him with? And how would you name the result?
Very nice blog and articles. I am really happy to visit your blog. Now I am found which I actually want. I check your blog everyday and try to learn something from your blog. Thank you and waiting for your new post.

Carl Linnaeus sounds like a snake
With an ego the size of a whale
When crossed hideous... but one gentle shake
He becomes a nuclear snail
Maybe?
Hey, Thanks, Uncle Newt for our scientific facts, sorry I am late commenting. I eagerly await your collaboration with Neil Gaiman, and I hope you can come back and make blog posts all about Series 9 of Souvenir Program and how you came up with all the ideas for the family tree. Have a good day.

My immediate glance at this comment yielded "Burling" and I got overly excited about Burling Day. Ah well. Burlington House is good too!
Linnaeus was a Swedish chap
Who named all kinds of things.
He knows how nightingales can bark
And how the Borzoi sings.
So I wanted to reply to a comment on Twitter but I don't have Twitter so I'm writing it here.
Re: the same line used in 'Fitton' and 'Limerick'. Now, I know it was an accident and I know you're irked by it... but it does make perfect sense that two people in such close quarters would have the same conversation twice, if not more than twice. It actually works really well in the context of Cabin Pressure.
My friend and I have had EXACTLY the same conversation at least three times about the naming of toasted sandwiches in New South Wales versus Victoria. There are very few regional dialectal differences across Australia, but those that exist are VERY important. The correct term BTW is Jaffle, if it comes out of a Jaffle-iron. If it comes out of a cafe-style press, it's just a boring toasted sandwich. In South Australia they're called toastie-toasties which is just plain wrong
Laura's comment is "so-so".
My favourite story nomenclatural origin comes from my own family. Tom Bowman was the Curator of the Department of Invertebrate Zoology at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. He co-discovered a genus of aquatic isopods and got to name it. He wanted it to have a mysterious, esoteric name, but he also wanted to name it after his wife, my Great Aunt Mary Jo. He named it the Joryma.
Because I used 'so' twice in the first sentence? Indeed. I did edit before posting but that one got away from me. I hope you can forgive me.
I am now going to look up the Joryma genus of aquatic isopods
Yes, Laura. I really wonder what made you want to put that first "so" there in the first place? Richard Madely was on the radio the other day complaining about people who do this and it was said that it's a sort of holding strategy which gives the speaker time to think what exactly they're going to say. That can only ever possibly apply to the spoken word, so please enlighten us as to the purpose of writing it?
Here: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=260859
Ooo, a true pedant in the wild :)
I could say it's because I often completely rearrange longer comments before posting them, and the superfluous 'so' ended up orphaned at the beginning of the sentence.
Or I could say it's a rhetorical thing intended to sound chatty and approachable, just like the 'now' in the second line.
But I'm going to say it's because I'm a linguist and as such I'm a descriptivist not a prescriptivist.
I am so delighted I found your weblog, I really found you by accident,
while I was researching on Bing for something else, Regardless I am here now and would just QUALITY UNDETECTED ORIGINAL FAKE DRIVING LICENCE like to say thank you for a fantastic post and a all round entertaining blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all at the minute but I have bookmarked it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a lot more, Please do keep up the excellent job.

iI’m lauriel from New York, United States. I lost my job a few months back after my divorce with my wife. I tried everything positive to make sure I took good care of my kids but all failed, and I was in debt which makes everything worse. I was kicked out of my home and i had to live with my neighbor after pleading with her to allow me to stay with her for some days while I figured out how to get a home which she agreed to, but no one was willing to help anymore. I bumped into this page from google and I was excited about this, then I contacted the hackersBill Dean. I had just $200, so I pleaded with them to help me because of my condition but they never accepted. I believed in this, so I managed to pawn a few things and got $500. I ordered the $10,000 card and I got my card delivered to me by Ups 4 days later. I never believed my eyes! I was excited and upset as well, I managed to withdraw $2000 on the ATM and $2500 the second day. I went to Walmart and a grocery store and bought a couple of things for $3000. The card got blocked the third day and I contacted them and I was told it's a mistake from my end. I’m so happy, I have started all over again and have a good apartment with my kids you can contact him through is via email (globalatmcardhackingservice@gmail.com)or his whatsap contact (+1 301-887-5071)
I’m impressed, I have to say. Hardly ever do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining. Your idea is outstanding; the problem is that not sufficient people speak intelligently about...big brother Naija 2021 housemates

According to Michael Holding's latest book 'Why we kneel, how we rise', Linnaeus was also a supporter of racism, (ISBN 978-1-3985-0323-6) page 81 :
"In 1735 he defined the concept of race, categorising humans: Americanus, Asiaticus, Africanus and Europeaus. Each race was given characteristics.
...
White Euaropeans? Well, knock em down with a feather, they were just perfection. They were 'of fair complexion, sanguine temperament, and brawny form .. for gentle manners, acute in judgement, of quick invention, and governed by fixed laws and their mother.' Behold the master race."
The book makes very uncomfortable and sometimes gruesome reading.
