Number crazy

At five minutes and six seconds after 4 AM on the 8th of July this year, the time and date will be:

04:05:06 07/08/09

This will not happen again for a thousand years.

Really? This is kinda cool, but who in their right mind is going to be up at that hour on a Wednesday morning? Especially for a totally artificial number. Well, I guess there may be some real math freaks that could get into it. Anyone else up at that hour is walking a crying baby, working, or has partied way too hard on a Tuesday night. There may be one or two people up using the bathroom.

All these crazy things about numbers. There are those people with the Bible code, that is absolutely no good because you first have to know the event and then you go looking for something that you can tie to it from the Bible. Most of the time the tie is so vague that it’s a real stretch. Because of this kind of crazy talk, I didn’t read the De Vinci Code until it had been out for over a year. I thought it was about some crazy fortune telling hocus pocus thing with De Vinci’s works. Once I paid attention and found that wasn’t the case I started reading the book, and boy was I cranky that I had missed out on such a good book for so long. Of course that’s the good thing about a book, you never really miss it they’re always there. Well, that is if you don’t wait too long.

Speaking of books, have you checked out the Kindle? How cool is that thing!! I have a friend at work that just bought the newest version. I’m so jealous!! The problem is I’m too cheap to spend the money. As soon as the price works its way down to a manageable point, I’m owning one. Someone said I should wait until they let us download books on our cell phones. Well, there’s no satisfaction in that! Phones are too small, the Kindle is kinda the same size as a book, and the print is the same size, but if you need to you can increase the font size. Reading a book on the phone would be just so wrong. Listening to one would be OK. I wonder if I can download audio books to may Blackberry? I gotta go!
