[PAR] [TLE] Georg Christoph Lichtenberg [SEP] Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1 July 1742 – 24 February 1799) was a German scientist, satirist, and Anglophile.  As a scientist, he was the first to hold a professorship explicitly dedicated to experimental physics in Germany.  Today, he is remembered for his posthumously published notebooks, which he himself called "Sudelbücher", a description modelled on the English bookkeeping term "scrapbooks", and for his discovery of the strange tree-like electrical discharge patterns now called Lichtenberg figures. [PAR] [TLE] Lichtenberg's Avertissement [SEP] Lichtenberg's Avertissement, written by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, is a poster intended to deter the citizens of Göttingen, Germany, from attending the performance of Jacob Philadelphia in 1777.  The performance was supposed to be an exhibition of scientific experiments; however, Lichtenberg considered it to be a magic show.  He was angered by the alleged deception and posted the following satire in order to persuade people to avoid the performance.  As a result of the extravagant claims that were posted, Philadelphia left Göttingen without giving any exhibitions.
