In 1893 Gustave-Edouard Laguesse (1861-1927) attached the name Langerhans to the structures. They are generally referred to as the "Islets" of Langerhans.
Clever, but it's islets of langerhans, not isles.
I know, it's a typo
Tricked you!!! I knew that!!! lier
I have found many refernces to it the way it appears in this teaser on Google. Isles works better as a teaser, so I dont see a problem
i'm wondering whether this should be in the trivia section?
twas a good teaser thought

Thanks Sweet,
I agree with you, ai also think its a shame that the Trick questions sre shown as such, as it gets your brain into the mind set of looking for the trick straight away. I always like to be completely fooled that it is a Trick question.

strange of a name to be and island
2.I look at my history teacher's big world map everyday, and I've found real islands named Starbuck, McDonald Island, South Sandwich Islands, and Campbell. Never have I found any islet.
