                    The last execution by guillotine was Sept 10, 1977. The Atari 2600 video game was introduced on Sept 11, 1977. The age of the guillotine and the age of video games is only separated by 24 hours.

                          They should use that photo in their advertising. They could be the next Anheuser Busch.

                              Yeah but the timeless themes can be fit into any number of symbolic narratives. It’s not like Hemingway can forbid that or call it wrong.

                              Education is extremely important.

                                    I find this fascinating. My favourite one is Euler's identity -
