Video of the day -- Douglass-Jefferson rap battle
I gave a few examples here of these "rap battle" videos. This one, featuring two of the major intellectuals of American history, is rather different -- it's witty, but not exactly funny, due to the seriousness of the issues involved. If you're not familiar with Frederick Douglass (1817-1895), he was born into slavery, escaped as a young man, and became one of the country's leading crusaders against slavery; his was a remarkable story that Americans really ought to learn about as much as they learn about Jefferson or Lincoln.

That was funny.
This is one of the better ones. Jefferson really did invent the swivel chair, by the way.
Oddly enough I just heard Pascal invented the roulette wheel. He was trying to invent perpetual motion. Puts a rather different spin on his wager does it not?
Makes sense. He must have understood neither probability nor physics.
