Aww, I was saying that e^(i*pi) is equal to -1, but I guess CB couldn't handle the pi symbol so the symbol and everything after it got cut off.

There's a street in Jamestowne, Virginia called Lafayette Street.... 

Also in the reginment for Williamsburg for the Revolutionary War, the first outfits were picked by Washington and were hunting shirts.  

My grade just came back from a trip to colonial Williamsburg (and some of Jamestowne), so.... Also I chose the worst person to write a creative writing letter from. Literally, there is no one at all like Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, the Marquis de La Fayette, aka Lafayette. 

Another thing I learned? There's pickle and jalapeño flavored cotton-candy... Also root beer float cotton candy tastes great.

I learned you can buy variety packs of root beer, with all different kinds of companies, and have a root beer tasting night, kinda like a wine tasting but better because no alcohol.
