why

it's another one of those that make you wonder whether some scientists are just making work for themselves, and really that some of them aren't all that smart.

you study years to become a scientist. you have dreams of winning the nobel prize, of being mentioned in the same breath as einstein or hawking. you want to discover something that can been named after you. be involved in a project that redefines the barriers of science.

instead you make up work to do, killing time because otherwise you might have to get are real job.
the thing you decide to research is agatha christie and her works.
so it seems she was popular because she wrote easy to read books. fucking amazing...

her grandson says it best: "It's not really a mystery. She was simply a writer of great plots."
