Aristotle rhymes with bottle and throttle but is best known as the name of an Ancient Greek philosopher. As a young man, he was the student of Plato, the famous plate-spinner and inventor of friendship, but he became bored by the constant circus-skills training and the lack of rumpy-pumpy and set off to seek his fortune as a philosopher in Athens.
Aristotle studied every possible subject, writing on ethics, politics and aesthetics, and inventing logic and xenophobia. He then returned to Macedon to become tutor and mentor to the future Alexander the Great, teaching him how to be a virtuous king, how to despise foreigners and how to spin plates.
Aristotle thought that everything was made up of five elements, earth, air, fire, water and aether which just goes to show that he was an idiot. All the same, he looked great in a statue.
