Lot of people in the fitness industry have all the personality of kelp; I've yet to hear anybody anywhere complain of how Brigitte Goudz treats people, though.

Why You Shouldn't Set Goals but Form Good Habits.

Read Jim Corbett as Jim Cornette and then realized that was not it, colour me disappointed.

Team work!

Roulette dates from the 17th or 18th century, depending on how you look at it.

Most people credit Blaise Pascal with inventing roulette. He was actually trying to devise a perpetual motion machine. (He failed, of course.)

More sophisticated gambling historians look for a game more recognizable as the modern game of roulette. They find it in historical records dating to 1796, in a novel which describes the game being played in a casino.

The rules for modern roulette are actually a mish-mash of several other games, most of which are no longer played. You’ve probably never heard of them, either. They include:

Ace of Hearts
Biribi
O.
Hoca
Reiner
Roly-Poly

Some of these games are also wheel-based games like roulette, but some of them are also board games.

And even though early versions of the game were recognizably roulette, some of the rules varied in earlier times. For example, in the United States during the Old West, a roulette wheel not only had a 0 and a 00, it also had an American eagle symbol.

Also, in early versions of roulette, the 0s and the eagle symbols were an automatic win for the house. You couldn’t bet on them, so when the ball landed in one of those pockets, the croupier just collected all the bets off the table.

If I owned a casino, I’d enjoy that aspect of the game.
