Pic taken on Saturday, when the rain saw I have a brolly with me and sent the sun out :-)
The Gauß-bridge is right around the corner, leading the way to Carl Friedrich Gauß, or rather the memorial of him:
Here he is from the back - not the cover, so to say.
And there you can see how proud this city really is to call him his child.
The engraving says:
To the sublime thinker who unveiled the most hidden secrets the science of ciphers and space offered, who fathomed the heavenly and earthly laws of nature´s phenomenons to give to humankind to use. To his secularistic birthday in his native city Braunschweig dedicated by his thankful posterity.
Well, yes, thankful we can be!
Just sad nobody seems to take his wisdom when it comes to clothes.
Stuff in my size - the one most peeps have - are always gone in a blink of the eye.
Hope Gauß is more present in your place when it comes to this! ;-)

It's good to know CFG was so well honoured Iris.
btw it's the same here, I guess that's because most people are of a 'normal' size, not too thin and not to large :)
Yips, Grace - and with CFG´s mathematical solution they could buy the right amounts... could!
Kind of fellow I wouldn't mind sharing a few pints with.
I agree normal sizes disappear fast. It's good to be tiny or larger (this last one...maybe not).
A science-meetup with beer, sounds good, Revrunner, count me in :-)
Sami, yes, the latter... better not!
