i was reading my textbook and read about this aristotle guy. somehow i remember him from my history text. i keep thinking he made some amazing discovery in the astronomy field. but i cannot rember wat.zzz dang! shouldn't have thrown my textbooks away!!!T_T anyways i read up on him on the net and counln't find any astonomical things he did, though he did many other stuuf like arts and science. he has one interesting life too. haha. but i think he made discoveries like the 5 elements

Fire, which is hot and dry.
Earth, which is cold and dry.
Air, which is hot and wet.
Water, which is cold and wet.
Aether, which is the divine substance that makes up the heavenly spheres and heavenly bodies (stars and planets).

i got this from wikipedia.lol the site all the teachers dissaprove us from gettin actual info from. lol, but lets juzt assume this is accurate.lol...well he was wrong about this info as there is definitely more than 5 elements, we all know that right.haha

then he made this theory up about spontaneous genertation. hah. its wrong too. xD he thinks that rats got reporduced from trash. well, it seems stupid now, doesn't it. but im sure some ppl last time believed it. but yippee for Redi for proving him wrong with his decaying-meat-and-maggot experiment. lol.

but anyways i like this chart aristotle came up with

Vice of Deficiency	Virtuous Mean	Vice of Excess
Cowardice	Courage	Rashness
Insensibility	Temperance	Intemperance
Illiberality	Liberality	Prodigality
Pettiness	Munificence	Vulgarity
Humble-mindedness	High-mindedness	Vaingloriness
Want of Ambition	Right Ambition	Over-ambition
Spiritlessness	Good Temper	Irascibility
Surliness	Friendly Civility	Obsequiousness
Ironical Depreciation	Sincerity	Boastfulness
Boorishness	Wittiness	Buffoonery
