Reminds me of the guy who discovered bucky balls.  He found a stable 60 carbon structure (mass spec) and went to the math department to ask if they knew of a stable structure with 60 vertices and no more than 4 links and no less than 2 links to each vertex.

A few days later the math department chair called him back and said, "You're kidding right?  It's a damn soccer ball!  No quit bugging us."

I don't know if it actually happened that way, but it's pretty funny.
