Professor Mundeign was an inveterate sceptic. Whenever he received a detailed academic paper, his first instinct was to shred it. In this way his workload became manageable, and only those with the greatest perseverance managed to get referenced within his extensive archive. It was therefore only by chance and luck that the papers of Felix Prupaddle were saved for posterity. The Prupaddle conjecture posited the theory of numerical imbalance in heavy coagulants of the x-phylum. Initially his suggestions were received with universal derision, but over the decades more and more investigators came to realise that much of what he was suggesting could be picked up with evidence using electromagnetic rondation. As a result the conjecture is currently receiving revived interest within the discipline of Pataphysics (See "The Myth of Sisyphus"). Just look at them and sigh.
