    In 1807, as the French army was approaching Gottingen, Napoleon ordered his troops to spare the city because "the greatest mathematician of all times is living there."

          I had heard/seen something like that before. Kind of sad.

                  The eagles are lip synching their live performances:

                  I'm forced to say that this is not huge, and furthermore doesn't change everything.

                  Unless you're a huge Eagles fan, I guess.

                    Mrs. George once told me (and perhaps @jodi can confirm) that if you have a stallion, you MUST identify it as such if you take it for a trail ride. A red flag on the tail was to be applied.

                    Here's why.
