This news just blew my mind! I mean, can you believe that some guy's old calculator (yes, a calculator) from like 300 years ago could fetch £3m? It's not even like it's some rare artifact or artwork... it's literally a machine that calculates stuff. But I guess when you think about it, it was way ahead of its time and changed the course of history.I'm all for preserving cultural heritage, but at the same time, I feel bad for people who are really interested in owning such an iconic piece of history. I mean, imagine being able to see La Pascaline up close and personal... it's like something out of a sci-fi movie!
But hey, on the bright side, we can all learn from this. It just goes to show how important it is to protect our collective history and cultural treasures for future generations. We should be thanking the French heritage group for fighting for what they believe in
I'm so stoked that the Paris court blocked the auction of La Pascaline! This thing is a piece of history, you know? I mean, can you even imagine someone owning something that's almost 400 years old? It's mind-blowing to think about all the innovation and genius that went into creating it. Blaise Pascal was literally trying to create a machine that could think for itself - talk about forward thinking! 
Now, it'll be safe for future generations to study and learn from it. That's what I love about this decision. It's not just about preserving art or culture, but also about the knowledge and history behind these incredible machines.
