Henman Er, Sorry, Murray Loses

I just wish I had not been so sentimental as not to put a bet on three straight sets.

Fantasy & Science Fiction Question Time (1)

Isaac Asimov had a 30 years correspondence with Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling. Pauling read Isaac's science articles in Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine regularly and wrote Isaac whenever he found an error. Here is an interesting excerpt.
From Pauling to Isaac:

I am writing now about your article in the September 1978 issue. On page 123, you say that Amontons and Guy-Lusac observed that if a gas at the freezing point of water, 0 degree Celsius, is decreased in temperature to -1 degree Celsius, then both the volume and the pressure of the gas will decline by 1/274 of the temperature. This is wrong. What you should have said is that _ _ _ I hope you are keeping busy as ever.

What was the explanation?

Just To Keep You Busy

Work out the numbers of A to G if...

A+B+C+D+E+F+G=340
3A+7B-4C-13D+E-6F+2G=219.25
2A-7B+9C-4D-3E+2F+3G=82
ABC=21,150
DE=1225.25
FG=3,145
BDF=11,544

Also C is the smallest number, and E is the biggest number. F is the middle number.

An Amazing Film: Million Dollar Babie

The name is crap. "Million Dollar Babie" after all. It sounds like a Disney movie.

The subject matter is offputting. Female boxing...! Who, but perverts, are interested in that?

But it did have Clint Eastwood. I have watched every other Eastwood movie, some several times.

So, I eventually gave in.

I watched it today. It is a bewitching multilayered masterpiece. Eastwood not only gives the performance of his life but directs! I cried.

That is all I have to say.
