Hello from Glasgow where I've just found out from some relatives (my mother's second cousin) that I'm very distantly related to Lord Kelvin. Yes, that's Kelvin who invented the temperature scale. Yes, as in the "Absolute Zero" one. Pretty cool, eh? I have probably something like 1/1000000 of math genius blood in me. It must be the part that allows me to add 1+1 and generally get a reliable answer because my math skills don't extend much beyond that. Still though, Lord Kelvin, cousin of mine, thanks for passing down that little bit mathematical wizardry down to me. I'd be much worse off without it.
As a side note, I now understand why, when I visited Ireland when I was about 9, there were a huge number of men (and boys) in my family named Kelvin.
I can see clearly now...
As a result of this newfound piece of knowledge, I'll be sure to tote myself around Glasgow tomorrow and take lots of pictures. Oh, and go visit his grave in Westminster Abbey when I'm back in London. If you want to go see it too, please do. It's the one right next to Sir Isaac Newton. Seriously. How cool am I all of a sudden? Oh, admit it! You know I am!
Joanna, get some spam protection.
ReplyDeleteWalter, you're a git.
