And  that's a good thing, because sophists are pretentious, loud chatters, 
and we  don't want that in a therma.
 
I hope A. Palma has provided for W. O. the evidence he was looking for.  Many 
websites (do a google search 'sauna Foucault Guibert') mention that.
 
I was pleased that Palma, _who knows_, mentions the 11th near the  Bastille.

It's not clear what R. Paul's point is. But the Pantheon in Paris was  thus 
named after the Pantheon in Rome which _was_ perhaps originally heathen. Or  is 
Paul palying on the fact that *Foucault* is a common-enough surname?
