I drew up this design tonight. It's for a town called Pascal.

Sorry, but Pascals wager is very likely the most stupid thing ever said...

And it's impossible to get it out of some people's heads.

Pascal is a genius :idea: you can't understand him, lack of knowledge I guess

If you are using a computer today, thank him

Some people consider him a fraud, I wouldn't go that far. Certainly somethings attributed to him were discovered by someone else. Pascal's triangle for instance was discover by the Indians.

Pascal maybe a fraud because he did not invent numbers.... :)

Pascal, the French scientist was one of the most reputed mathematician and physicist of his time. He is credited with inventing an early calculator, amazingly advanced for its time. A genuis from a young age, Blaise Pascal composed a treatise on the communication of sounds at the age of twelve, and at the age of sixteen he composed a treatise on conic sections.

Pascal sounds like a nice place to live... except the part about believing in God.

And the high density apartments. Give me a place with space, where my walls aren't shared with the neighbors, please.
