Sic transit gloria mundi (since 1891)

Spotted these (tasty. with butter!) biscuits in the supermarket. Rushed to get them. I read (wikipedia) that they are indeed named after the great mathematician, Gottfried Wilhelm! Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibnitz (mid 17th centurey - 1st quarter of the 18th) was Newton's contemporary and each developed, independently, calculus! I studied calculus more than 20 years ago and still use it. Leibnitz's notation is much better than Newton's, it enables you to change variables much more easily.

The biscuits are great. Israeli biscuits are made without butter so you can eat them with meat or milk, according to Jewish dietary law. And these, with butter - they're great!
