Quick Blaise Pascal Joke

I've just spent the last ten minutes trying to explain to Young Keith why Pascal's Wager isn't meant to be an each-way bet. He seems to think if he puts a couple more quid on, then if it turns out Woden's in charge, Keith can come back as an elf-maiden.

There's a lot of things wrong with this theory, not least where Keith thinks he's going to find a kind of astral bookmaker. But it's a wet Monday morning, so I've just left him to it now. My head hurts.

  1. If Jesus cut code then I feel sure he would have used Pascal (but definitely not Object Pascal), Woden would have been more of an ALGOL man I reckon :)
