A woman once said to US President Calvin Coolidge: "I've made a bet with a friend that I can get you to say at least three words to me this evening. What do you have to say to that?" Coolidge looked at her and calmly replied: "You lose." But how many times have you gone completely blank when arguing with someone, only to think of the perfect comeback an hour later? It's too late, of course. More than anything, you wish you could wind back time and deliver your riposte at the perfect moment. That's l'esprit de l'escalier. iMinds brings targeted knowledge to your eReading device with short information segments to whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.
