Moreover, it was Pythagoras, Plato was inspired to write the theory of democracy. It turns out, we should thank for half of all Pythagorean invention are useful gizmos.
Oddities:

Byron then decided to have an animal, a ban which was not a speech in a set of rules. He brought the bear. This animal lived with Byron in his dorm room. Scattering the students, so drove pet for a walk.

In the words of the artist's assistant, sometimes for as long Michelangelo did not wash his skin slazit itself like a snake.
All its strangeness led to the fact that the artist began to suffer from autism. He rarely spoke to anyone, sometimes interrupted the conversation to his middle and walks away.
