There's a very old thread where I posted a picture of a statue. Should I do it again?

Thought I remembered that one. You live near the shrine. If you've got the picture handy, I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

I don't have the picture handy. It was just a link, anyway.
Maybe when Spring comes I'll get my picture taken with the statue. Gauss is...by far...the pride of the university here. Lots of Nobel prize winners, but the University of Chicago has more. Goettingen had Gauss. |

But he lost to Frazier the first time, and had his hands full the other two times. Tyson, also, seemed invincible (until Douglas vinced him). Robinson, as a welterweight, and Duran as a lightweight...the battle among the rest of the world -- for second best -- was never as clear. They weren't just better than everyone else; they were a full class above. There was probably a bigger gap between #1 and #2 than between #2 and #10, in their cases.
