when the numbers work out

[adelaidesean]

Room number in Denver = 2305 = my birthday + all sorts of Robert Anton Wilson references

Visitor badge at NORAD = 66 = one digit short of the Beast + first two digits of my postal address + last two digits of my mobile number

I don't know why stuff like this pleases me so much. I mean, I know it doesn't signify anything real, but still I feel a kind of glee. Could it be a wiring problem? Or is it found art for maths nerds?

(The street address of my home is 3 to the 3rd power = the number of books I have in print as of today.)

66 is the last two digits of my birth year.

In fact my birth date is full of 6's(and a 2, 1 and a 9). A friend missed out on being born in the same year on the 6/6/66, and had to do with 7/6/66, which doesn't have the same ring to it.

If I say my birthdate too fast, I have a lisp.

Maybe your friend was born on 6/6/66 as recorded by another time zone? Maybe even at 6.00!

My name has three double-Ls and two double-Us, a fact I've always found secretly amusing. (God, it's all coming out now!)

She was born in Australia. If she'd been born in the USA at the equivalent time, she would have been born on 6/6/66.

If you name has three double-Ls and two double-Us, what the hell is your middle name?

You can spell my first name six different ways.....

Llewellyn. Now you know all my secrets.

Llewellyn was a great Welsh hero. Stood up to the English. It's a good name to have.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the digits in my birth year (1967) add up to my birth day (23), the digits of which add up to my birth month (5), which I also think is kinda neat.

That is neat.
