Rhinoceri in Science.

From Naldrett, A. J. : A Model for the Ni-Cu-PGE Ores of the Noril'sk Region and Its application to Other Areas of Flood Basalt (Economic Geology v. 87, no. 8) -

'Early in his play Rhinocerus, Ionescu (sic) has the Logician remark "... good logic cannot entertain the possibility that the same creature be born in two places at the same time... . Or even successively." However, geologists always count on there being more than one rhinocerus around; their main problem is to identify the habitat in which these are likely to occur.'

Oh the stuff you can find in papers...
