Summer Holiday
Samos was the birthplace of Pythagoras. By a unique geographical quirk of nature, the island is formed in the shape of a perfect right-angled triangle. Pythagoras, who liked to stroll around the island, soon realised that when he walked the long beach as many times as it was long, it took the same amount of time as when he walked each of the two short beaches as many times as they were short. Geometry was born.
Pythagoras later trimmed his beard and became a poker theoretician.
Damn I need this holiday. Back in a week.
