Las Vegas, Nevada: A city where oddities don't make you lame, But instead bring you riches and fortune and fame.
Stories about mental aberration and oddity only make sense in context. Just how do people live with someone who is peculiar, gifted, strange or alien?

Arithmetic starts with the integers and proceeds by successively enlarging the number system by rational and negative numbers, irrational numbers, etc. . . But the next quite logical step after the reals, namely the introduction of infinitesimals, has simply been omitted.
