Scientific paper

Gamma ray bursts remained essentially non-understood or misunderstood from their 1973 discovery (not, I will claim, ``serendipitous'') to the first, 1997, redshift. This is by no means a record. The poster explored some of the examples of longer-standing puzzles and the after-dinner talk some of the details of the GRB case. The most striking feature of the GRB history is probably the unanimity with which ``all we, like sheep, went astray,'' which followed the epoch of ``we have turned everyone to his own way.'' Some of the reasons for this, the range of hypotheses, and how GRBs were presented to the astronomical and larger communities are discussed.
