Pythagoras was not , as widely believed , a Greek ! He was in fact a red indian war chief , and as was the custom in his tribe , he took three wives.
For each of his wives he made a bed from an animal skin ...the first wifes bed was made from hippo skin , the second wifes bed from zebra skin and the third wifes bed from leopard skin.
Well as time went by his wives all became pregnant and gave birth , the first wife presented him with 2 male children and each of the other wives produced a male child.Upon seeing this he uttered the immortal phrase
the squaw on the hippopotamus has equaled the sons of the squaws on the other 2 hides
