I hate to be a stickler but.......being a radiology resident I had to speak up. The famous first x-ray taken by Rontgen (proper spelling with umlaut over the "o") was not of his wifes hand but rather Albert von Kölliker's hand, a colleague of his. The story of his wifes hand and wedding ring makes a good story though!
P.S. I still love you neatorama!
