- Good afternoon Fowler Family!
- I heard a funny joke: It feels like I’m 16 again. Gas prices are 1.25 and I’m grounded! I loved this joke and remember this all to well at 16!! It made me curious what gas prices were in 1983. Turns out the average was 1.05 and this would be 3.20 in the value of money today.
- It would be fun to hear how much gas was when you were 16, so let us know!
- Another interesting bit of information, submitted by John Taylor, Isaac Newton invented calculus and discovered the inverse square law of gravity while Cambridge was shut down in 1665. Here is the story: In 1665 Issac Newton had just finished his BA at Cambridge and was planning to continue as a grad student when the university was shut down due to an outbreak of the plague. Having nothing better to do, he went home and invented calculus and discovered the inverse square law of gravity.
