Blaise Pascal was a brilliant French mathematician who gave us countless advances in probability calculation, as well as the grade ten mathematical crutch known as Pascal’s triangle. He also formulated Pascal’s Wager, a theorem which argues that logic demands belief in God, as one has nothing to lose in the afterlife if He does not exist. Pascal’s Wager has been criticized from all sides. Among the frequently raised objections are that God would see through the Wager and send you ...
For B-Mental--One more story to tide you over for awhile so I don't run out.

Dad dropped by in the morning and left his presents for her (Two books and a Rubik's cube). I wrapped them in green tissue paper (Because we don't really have any birthday ...
I am waiting to fly out in a couple of days, and forgot to mention something in my 20 and 10 entry. There are limited flights going back and forth from the Prudhoe Bay area of Alaska to Anchorage. You know what day you are going to fly on, and then try to get on the flight with an opening. Ususually all the flights are booked up, and some seats are blocked out.
