After spending the day visiting William & Mary College in Williamsburg VA today with my oldest daughter, I predict she will not even apply to the school.

I predict there will be more Kennedy assassination conspiracy books.
Perhaps one next year claiming Jackie Kennedy did it...
(Personally, I favor the one about the UFO landing on the Grassy Knoll. But I wasn't there...still haven't figured how John Wilkes Booth jumped from Mr Lincoln's balcony box to the stage without cratering)

I won't predict that Elysium the movie will or won't kill at the box office. I don't give a crap.
Nor am I predicting Elysium, after death, will be nothing more than nothing.
I have Monsieur Pascal to thank for this ruination of a good Catholic upbringing.
Pascal's Wager is an argument in apologetic philosophy which was devised by the seventeenth-century French philosopher, mathematician, and physicist, Blaise Pascal. It posits that humans all bet with their lives either that God exists or does not exist. Given the possibility that God actually does exist and assuming the infinite gain or loss associated with belief in God or with unbelief, a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God. If God does not actually exist, such a person will have only a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury, etc.).

have you been in Dallas at Dealey Plaza? not such a large place... not like you could sneak in unless you had a Romulan cloaking device on board...
I haven't been at Ford's Theatre, I suspect the balcony box isn't as high as I imagine it... you?

Hi Ed. No, I have never been to Dealy Plaza.
I think you're right about Mr Booth and his jump. The NPS administers Ford's Theater and say he jumped 10 to 12 feet from the balustrade. As a child I'd only been in movie, school or church theaters so jumping from a balcony to the stage seemed pretty remarkable...

It would seem that there was an older stage configuration in the time of Booth, one in which the stage projected more, making the leap not so desperate.
I won't predict that as an answer. Lemme check my balls first.

I think Booth jumped from the enclosure behind where the flag bunting is draped. (??)

Why go to all that bother with supercomposting?

I'd like to compiment you on your originality, though.

In a few years Super Topo pages will be bronzed and set at the start of each pitch of routes. That way you can get all the beta without even having to bring along your own pages. "The crux is best done........"
