Ja, I am showing Hal as still receiving Extropy chat.  I haven't heard from
him in a long time.  Gina it has been a long time since we heard from you
too.  Welcome back young lady!  {8-]  I do hope all is well with you.

Happy 106th birthday Leonard Euler!

I try to imagine what emotions must Euler have felt when he discovered that
e^i*pi = -1.  That must have been such a mind-blowing discovery.  It is
astonishing enough to learn of it today, but what must it have been like to
be the first person to discover it?  It would surely have been insufficient
to simply sit in a chair and laugh.  One would need to physically get down
on the floor and howl at the enormity of the joke nature has played on us.
Mrs. Euler would surely have thought it most puzzling.
