  • Right, age and size ok, ALT2 by far the most interesting and catchy hook...and is referenced ok. Err, Jeremy Brown book has mariage lasting 4 years not 4 months. If we substitute word then wording is a little close to source for that...another humorous quote is from the Mosdot tevel - "for why limit God's ability to create another planet or two?" - if we could incorporate that into a DYK hook it'd be cool.

  • Actually there are alot of potential hooks..the Hebrew names he gave to Ceres and Pallas..the fact he was the first rabbinical figure to adopt the kilometre as a unit of length....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:45, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for reviewing and thank you for catching the "months" error, it is now corrected. I am not opposed to your proposed hook regarding Friesenhausen's position on life on other planets. I'm not familiar with the Ceres and Pallas matter you mentioned. Thanks, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 18:38, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
  • I was just reading on in one of those google books. But never mind, I think the Copernicus one comes most natural-like and we'll roll with that one. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:58, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
