Various things that I typed today

Descartes, Bastonia... The sun rose in the east and the clock tower in the square chimed 8:00. Spiny McSpleen woke up with the idea that today would be just like any other day...
...but, what he didn't plan for was... that... er... he was right.

Not a very exciting plot for a novel, eh?

Anyway, linking mentally to 10/10/10's post, I forgot to mention something of monumental importance. Whilst there are only twelve triple numbers every 100 years, one of those happens to be a sextuple number.  Now, those who are familiar with certain "reality shows" where women have "sextuplets" (very real, that) will know that the prefix sex- means "Six" (as opposed to the homonym, which means something completely different). Next year, on November the 11th, will be this century's only sextuple number -- 11/11/11.  And, of course, all of those other obscure mathematical days afterwards.

Next, did you know that Toys R' Us runs the most thorough background check on potential employees than any other firm or government entity? This is, most likely, because registered paedophiles ought not to work in toy stores. On the application, it even says that people's attempts to hide their past from Toys R' Us Corporate will fail.

I think that's all...
