The Victorian Era provided the optimum conditions for the development of Logic through the marriage of mechanical development, ingenuity and an insatiable curiosity for the unknown and the strange. By the end of the 1900s, logic had developed a language and spectacle of its own, either  residing within an act on a music hall variety bill or presented in a stand-alone show in venues such as the Egyptian Hall or the Royal Polytechnic. These two venues became uniquely associated with logic from 1873 to 1905 and provided the perfect platform for renowned logicians such George Alfred Cooke and John Neville Maskelyne.

The Mousetrap game, a long-time family favourite, is always good for zany action and lots of laughs. Scurry around the board collecting cheese and stealing cheese from other players, watch out for the trap! While kids are engaged in playing the Mousetrap game, they can also practice  valuable skills in construction, cause and effect, and decision-making. As they interact with the trap, a working, multipart machine, kids can practice construction skills.

Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday

“At this moment I bit into one of my frankfurters, and -- Christ! I  can't honestly say that I'd expected the thing to have a pleasant taste.  I'd expected it to taste of nothing, like the roll. But this -- well,  it was quite an experience. Let me try and describe it to you.

See, the hardest thing for me was leaving  the life. I still love the life. And we were treated like movie stars  with muscle. We had it all, just for the asking. Our wives, mothers,  kids, everybody rode along. I had paper bags filled with jewellery stashed  in the kitchen. I had a sugar bowl full of coke next to the bed.  Anything I wanted was a phone call away. Free cars. The keys to a dozen  hideout flats all over the city. I'd bet twenty, thirty grand over a  weekend and then I'd either blow the winnings in a week or go to the  sharks to pay back the bookies. Didn't matter. It didn't mean anything.  When I was broke I would go out and rob some more. We ran everything. We  paid off cops. We paid off lawyers. We paid off judges. Everybody had  their hands out. Everything was for the taking. And now it's all over.  And that's the hardest part. Today, everything is different. There's no  action. I have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent  food. Right after I got here I ordered some spaghetti with marinara  sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody. I get to  live the rest of my life like a schnook.
