   Finally, Isaac Newton supposedly told a friend that his dog Diamond helped him uncover two theorems. Also, there’s a story about Diamond being responsible for a fire that destroyed some of Newton’s papers.

   I believe the bit about the theorems, but as far as the fire is concerned, I think the dog was framed.
