Oh please, just one more?

Why, that's not just anybody! That's Nicolas of Cusa. One of the most remarkable philosophers, mathematicians, and writers of the late Middle ages. What's he doing? Counting to a million, of course!

History lessons continue. I did not know that Ottoman empire was so big. Greece was part of Ottoman empire (and Serbia too I think).

One of the first history rhymes I learnt was:

In fourteen hundred and ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

Divide that number into two

If anyone wants to buy an island here is one for you. One can make a developmet on it (in Sonata form).
I think that Ron Dough pictures are much better quality.

This is how much I would pay for this island (14.95).
This picture worth much more.
