Fans of "Asterix the Gallic" know well that the only fear of people
in Brittany is that the sky falls upon their head. So it must have
been a shock for them (the fans of Asterix) to learn that a horde
of Physicists and Dynamicists (some of them being actually Roman -
ils sont fous ces Romains!) invaded the bay of Saint-Brieuc and
spend a full week conjuring all the nastiness that the sky has in
reserve, revelling in the horrors hidden beyond the blue dome; they
talked with delight about "asteroids", "comets" and "meteor
streams"; they grinned at the idea of "artificial satellites",
these pots and pans of space always ready to fall upon you; some of
them said strange things about the Moon, the planets, and evoked
the "rings" of Saturn or of some other of their gods. One evening,
a Roman from Pisa went as far as cornering some inhabitants in the
large hut they used for their witchcraft and filled them with
terror by describing the fate of the poor dinosaurs victims of a
particularly nasty asteroid (or was it a comet?). You will be
surprized to learn that Bretons did not exact a spectacular revenge
for these offenses. On the contrary.
