I have begun to read a biography of Blaise Pascal. At the beginning Graham Tomlinson lists Pascal's claims to fame. They include these 

1. He proved the existence fo the vacuum
2. He was the first to demonstrate that air has weight
3. He virtually invented probabilty theory
4. He performed what has been called the first modern proper scientific experiment
5. He made possible the creation of the hydraulic press
6. He built the first mechanical calculating machine
7. He wrote one of the most famous satirical works in French literature
8. He was one of the first people to wear a wristwatch
9. He was involved in creating the first public urban tranportation system in Europe
10. In the field of apologetics, he came up with what we call Pascal's wager, an argument for faith.
