Bertrand Russell: Thinker, Mathematician, Philosopher, Prophet - Pipe Smoker

[admin]

Here's a very interesting article by Fred Brown. It's the 2nd in our new series on Pipe Smoker's of the Past.
Bertrand Russell is an extremely intriguing person, very bright and complicated. He was a public figure that smoked a pipe every waking hour of his life, and he just missed hitting 100 years of age by 2 years.
There's a great quote from Albert Einstein as well.

Thank again for another great history lesson. This is fast becoming by favorite segement on this website.

Maybe if more people smoked a pipe these days we could solve many of the great peoples we are facing.
It is almost telling that with the decline of pipe smoking the decline of this country and many other countries around the world has followed.
