To the Kikuyu tribe of central Kenya, the number 10 is considered bad luck. In fact, “10” is so feared that no one speaks it aloud; they just skip that number when counting anything—especially people, since it’s thought to be particularly bad luck to count humans.

911 Operator to the Rescue After Bride's Dress Is Stolen

A bride whose wedding dress had been stolen got the surprise of her life when a 911 dispatcher stepped in — and saved her wedding day.

Last Sunday, a Washington-based bride-to-be (her name was withheld for privacy) was inside her home on the morning of her wedding, preparing for the ceremony, when someone broke into her car and stole her wedding dress, among other belongings.

Panicked, the woman called 911 to report the crime, and Candice (she declined to provide her last name), a dispatcher at Valley Communications, the local 911 center, answered the call. “We deal with theft calls every day, but this one really touched me,” Candice, 28, told Yahoo! Shine. “I handled the situation as I normally would, but inside, I really sympathized. I couldn’t imagine someone stealing my wedding dress. All I kept thinking was, ‘I have a wedding dress. Maybe she could wear that.’”

By the time Candice got off the phone, she had made her decision: “I wanted her to wear my wedding dress.” So, after getting her supervisor's approval (and with no idea of the woman’s weight, height, or personal taste), Candice asked the responding officer to offer the woman the dress that Candice had worn on her own wedding day 18 months earlier.

“The woman was definitely surprised but very grateful,” Candice shared. “She also asked to see a photo, which, being a female, I totally understood.” Candice texted a picture of the dress to the officer, who, in turn, showed it to the bride-to-be.

It was a match. The woman loved the dress. With only hours to spare, Candice made arrangements to deliver it. “However, that was the difficult part,” she said.

Fortunately, Candice's husband, Brandon, was home, having canceled plans to go camping that weekend. “I called him and asked, ‘Can you do me a huge favor and pick up my wedding dress at my parents' home?’ He was really surprised, but once I explained the situation, he was happy to help," she recounted.

Brandon made a stop at Candice’s brother Peter’s house to pick up house keys before making the 20-minute drive to his in-laws' home. But there were still obstacles ahead. When he arrived, he discovered that Peter had given him the wrong set, so Peter had to drive over to let him in. "Meanwhile, I had no idea where the dress was, so I texted my parents, ‘Emergency. Call me,'" recounted Candice. "They told me that the dress was in the attic."

After Brandon located the bride’s fiancé, he delivered the dress to their home shortly before the ceremony was set to begin. “I’m so happy that I was able to help this woman,” Candice said. “She was very grateful and texted me a photo of her wearing the dress. I would do it all over again, if I could.”

88

Eighty Eight is an unincorporated town in Barren County, Kentucky, United States. It is part of the Glasgow Micropolitan Statistical Area and is 10 miles east of Glasgow on State Highway 90. The town's biggest claim to fame was the celebration of August 8, 1988 (08/08/88). People with an affinity for the number 8 descended upon the town from various parts of the nation and world, and the celebration was televised on national television.

As reported in a New York Times article, the town was named in 1860 by Dabnie Nunnally, the community's first postmaster. He had little faith in the legibility of his handwriting, and thought that using numbers would solve the problem. He then reached into his pocket and came up with 88 cents.

The only store in this small town was opened and run by the Richardson Brothers. It was the main source for feed, grocery, hardware and farm needs. It was closed in the late 1980s. The building was restored in 2005 and reopened as the Eighty Eight General Store. The historic post office (Zip Code 42130) was kept intact and is now open to the public. It is no longer in service however and was discontinued in 1984.

Eighty Eight is home to a congregation of the Church of Christ. Although sometimes mistakenly called Eighty Eight Church of Christ, the proper name is Refuge Church of Christ.

Just in case you're too cheap to get HBO, "khaleesi" means "queen" in the fictional language of the Dothraki from Game of Thrones. Despite being more of a title than a name, last year the word showed up on the birth certificates of 146 American baby girls whose parents apparently anticipate them to blossom into sexy dragon ladies who get nude a lot.

Considering that the novels have existed since 1996 and the name only showed up after the HBO series started, it's safe to say that once GoT is taken off the air, "Khaleesi" will go back to sounding like a stripper of mysterious ethnicity who does weird things with snakes in public. (Which isn't too far from the source material, actually.)

There’s no greater gift you can give a child than a lifetime of having to explain her dumb name came from a TV show.

A googol is the large number 10^100; that is, the digit 1 followed by 100 zeroes:

10,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000.

The term was coined in 1938^[1] by 9-year-old Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner. Kasner popularized the concept in his 1940 book Mathematics and the Imagination.

A googol has no particular significance in mathematics, but is useful when comparing with other very large quantities such as the number of subatomic particles in the visible universe or the number of hypothetically possible chess games. Edward Kasner used it to illustrate the difference between an unimaginably large number and infinity, and in this role it is sometimes used in teaching mathematics.

A googol is approximately 70!

18,580,000

 A federal jury in Oregon has awarded $18.6 million to a woman who spent two years unsuccessfully trying to get Equifax Information Services to fix major mistakes on her credit report.

Julie Miller of Marion County was awarded $18.4 million in punitive damages and $180,000 in compensatory damages, though Friday's award against one of the nation's major credit bureaus is likely to be appealed, The Oregonian reported.

The jury was told she contacted Equifax eight times between 2009 and 2011 in an effort to correct inaccuracies, including erroneous accounts and collection attempts, as well as a wrong Social Security number and birthday. Her lawsuit alleged the Atlanta-based company failed to correct the mistakes.

"There was damage to her reputation, a breach of her privacy and the lost opportunity to seek credit," said Justin Baxter, a Portland attorney who worked on the case with his father and law partner, Michael Baxter. "She has a brother who is disabled and who can't get credit on his own, and she wasn't able to help him."

Tim Klein, an Equifax spokesman, declined to comment on specifics of the case, saying he didn't have any details about the decision from the Oregon Federal District Court.

Miller discovered the problem when she was denied credit by a bank in early December 2009. She alerted Equifax and filled out multiple forms faxed by the credit agency seeking updated information. She had found similar mistakes in her reports with other credit bureaus, Baxter said, but those companies corrected their errors.

A Federal Trade Commission study earlier this year of 1,001 consumers who reviewed 2,968 of their credit reports found 21 percent contained errors. The survey found that 5 percent of the errors represented issues that would lead consumers to be denied credit.

19^12 / approximately 2.213 x 10^15 / approximately 2 quadrillion

The expression "nineteen to the dozen" means something is going really fast.

 Where id the phrase come from?


The usual meaningis to do something at a great rate. It most often refers to speed of speaking, as in this instance from the Daily Mail of 23 October 2003: “Talking nineteen to the dozen, her conversation is still peppered with outrageous references and bawdy asides.” The idea is that the rate of talking is so great that when other people say merely a dozen words, the speaker gets in 19. It’s also sometimes used to describe rapid heartbeat in times of danger, and to refer to other fast-moving or fast-changing things (like dogs’ tails).

Nobody seems to have the slightest idea why 19 is the traditional number to use here, but it has been in that form ever since it was first recorded in the eighteenth century.

There is a story about it which associates it with the efficiency of Cornish beam engines. It is said that such engines in the Newcomen era of the eighteenth century could pump 19,000 gallons of water out of a tin mine while burning only 12 bushels of coal. I am sure this is a folk tale, as an origin so specific and arcane would have been unlikely to generate a popular saying. It's more likely that the figures were quoted in some treatise and were then picked up as a way to explain the origin of this puzzling phrase. But nobody can know for sure because its early history is obscure.

The record for the most beers drunk in one night: 119, by Andre the Giant  (a wrestler who played the giant in The Princess Bride).

Born André René Roussimoff, and at adulthood stood over 7 feet & weighed over 500 pounds at his heaviest. Andre liked to drink. Born in France he had cosumed alcohol since he was a child. While wrestling for the WWF all the wrestlers would go to a certain bars after the shows in certain towns. Well one bar owner approached Andre & offered him a deal. The next time the WWF were in town, Andre would visit their bar & sit on stage, drinking beer all night allowing them to count how many. And the kicker was if Andre agreed to this, he got all his beer for free.

Andre agreed the the next time they were in town, the record was set. Andre sat on that stage for 6 hours. In that time he drank an astounding 119 beers! That's one beer every 3 minutes for six hours! Unreal. He could drink a can of beer in 2 drinks & his hands were so big you couldn't even see the can when he was holding it.  What's funny is that was one of the only times anybody ever saw Andre actually 'drunk'. (Andre passed out in the hallway of the hotel later that morning LOL)  He always seemed fine no matter how much he drank.

Let us assume that a number is "nice" if all its digits are different and if it is multiple of the sum of its digits. What is the greatest 3 digit nice number? 

 

(answer will be posted in comments tomorrow.)

1390 (313+331+367+379)

In the 2007 Doctor Who episode "42", a sequence of happy primes (313, 331, 367, 379) is used as a code for unlocking a sealed door on a spaceship about to collide with a star. When the Doctor learns that nobody on the spaceship besides himself has heard of happy numbers, he asks, "Don't they teach recreational mathematics anymore?"



A prime number is a number with exactly 2 factors - itself and 1.

A happy number is a number that, when you square each digit and add the squares together, and keep doing that, eventually you get 1.
.....For example, the number 379 is happy:
.....square each digit - 3 squared is 9, 7 squared is 49, 9 squared is 81.
.....add the squares together:  9+49+81 = 139
.....repeat - 1 squared is 1, 3 squared is 9, 9 squared is 81.  1+9+81 = 91
.....repeat - 9 squared is 81, 1 squared is 1.  81+1 = 82
.....repeat - 8 squared is 64,  2 squared is 4.  64+4 = 68
.....repeat - 6 squared is 36, 8 squared is 64.  36+64 = 100
.....repeat - 1 squared is 1, 0 squared is 0, 0 squared is 0.  1+0+0 = 1
.....Eventually you get to 1.

313, 331, 367, 379 are all happy primes.

They add up to 1390, which is a happy number, but is not prime.

Neptune has a new moon, and its existence is an enigma. The object, known for now as S/2004 N1, is the first Neptunian moon to be found in a decade. Its diminutive size raises questions as to how it survived the chaos thought to have created the giant planet's other moons.

The faint moon was discovered in archived images from the Hubble Space Telescope. Mark Showalter of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, was poring over pictures of Neptune taken in 2009 to study segments of its rings.

The rings around our outermost planet are too faint to see without taking very long-exposure pictures. However, the rings orbit so fast that taking one long shot would smear them across the frame. Showalter and colleagues gathered multiple shorter-exposure images and developed a technique to digitally rewind the orbits to the same point in time. Then they could stack several images on top of each other to reveal details of the rings.

"I got nice pictures of the arcs, which was my main purpose, but I also got this little extra dot that I was not expecting to see," says Showalter.

Stacking eight to 10 images together allowed the moon to show up plain as day, he says. When he went back and repeated the process using Hubble pictures taken in 2004, the moon was still there and moving as expected.

The tiny addition to Neptune's family is an added shock because it seems too small to have survived the formation of the other moons, according to accepted theories.

Neptune's biggest moon, Triton, is 2705 kilometres wide and orbits backwards – travelling in the opposite direction to the planet's spin. Its large size and wonky orbit led astronomers to believe that Triton was captured by Neptune's gravity about 4 billion years ago and that it destroyed whatever moons the gas giant originally had as it was settling into its new home.

"The Neptune moons we see today were probably broken up and regenerated after the arrival of Triton," says Showalter.

S/2004 N1 is about 20 kilometres across, and it has a nearly circular orbit that takes it around Neptune in 23 hours. Its orbit is squarely between Proteus, the outermost moon aside from Triton, and Larissa. These moons are 400 and 200 kilometres across, respectively. But in the post-Triton chaos, such a small rock should have been swept up to become part of Proteus, or broken up by interloping asteroids sometime after the system settled down.

"How you can have a 20-kilometre object around Neptune is a little bit of a puzzle," says Showalter. "It's far enough away that its orbit is stable. Once you put it there it will stay there. The question is, how did it get there?"

A more immediate question may be what to call this new and unusual moon. Neptune's other natural satellites are named after minor water deities in Greek and Roman mythology, an official naming convention set up by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Showalter and colleagues also recently discovered two new moons around Pluto and put their names to a public vote – although the IAU had the final say.

"Compared to work we recently did naming the moons of Pluto, there's not quite as colourful a cast of characters to work with, but there is still an interesting list of sea creatures one can choose from," he says.

For now, Showalter and the discovery team do not have a favourite in mind: "We don't really have a name for it. It's just 'that little moon', because S/2004 N1 does not roll off the tongue."

 In the television show Futurama, there is a taxicab number 87539319.

 


A famous anecdote of the British mathematician G. H. Hardy regarding a visit to the hospital to see the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. In Hardy's words:

“

I remember once going to see him when he was ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavorable omen. "No," he replied, "it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways."

Ever since then, the lowesat number that can be expressed as the sum of 2 positive cubes in n different ways is called a "taxicab number"  1729 is Taxicab(2) because n is 2.


87539319 is Taxicab(3).  It is the lowest number that can be written as the sum of 2 positive cubes in 3 different ways.

Taxicab(3) = 87539319
= 167³ + 436³
= 228³ + 423³
= 255³ + 414³

For his presentation, he walked up to the chalkboard and worked out by hand 2 to the 67th power, then subtracted 1. Then he moved over to a blank spot on the board and worked out in longhand 193,707,721 x 761,838,257,287. The two results matched. Cole sat down. It had been an hour long presentation. This was the only time the audience at an AMS audience vigorously applauded. Later, when asked how long it took him to find the factorization, Cole replied “Three Years of Sundays”.

63

put today, since it is 6/3


Some people's comments on a post in another blog about the number 63.  (The blog post itself didn't make much sense.)

I too have the number 63 in my life and I see it in almost everything I do. I too do not know what it means. I first noticed this number when I was playing a dice game. Every time I rolled the dice, it came out 6/3. I rolled it about five or six times and each time it came out 6/3. I've had some bad luck with this number. I got laid off of a job and I realize that my employee number was 63. If I do come across this number I will ask for a different number. I always look at receipts very carefully, and sure enough there always is a 63 in it. When I got my license plate to my new car. I turned it in for an other new license plate because of the number 63, but unfortunately my insurance policy also had that number in it and there is nothing I can do about that. I will not intentionally picked this number, and if I can change it. I will. Also every year on June 3 I become hyper-aware of the month and of the day and I make myself scarce to the public.

I've been a dealer in the casino and i can always see the cards, 6 and 3 always come out numerous times continuously and consistently. I also see this everywhere, unit blocks, parking lots, roads and transit etc. Its pretty uncanny lol.

I really need help who is going 2help me,by telling me the reason why am always seeing the number 63?   I was playing a game called lido and in this game each time i throw the dies it shows 63 sometimes after i must have throwed it about 4 or 5times it will show back 63 i really dont understand what does this number mean,and why am i always seeing it?

I dreamt last night i will die aged 63

i was born at 6:36 am. I've come across literally hundreds of occurrences of 63 such that 63 represents a property of something, i.e., i was told last week by a friend that his dog was about to have her puppies. He said they have puppies within 63 days of getting pregnant. I thought only I noticed this number seemingly connected everywhere. It's pretty freaking odd how 63 shows up as properties of facts of just about everything.

I am seeing 63 everywhere as well. Like the other day when some friends of mine were discussing a dogs age in dog years and they came up with 63...Like a hamburger menu which listed 63 SEK(in sweden), I stopped below a sign once which said "63 something street"...the phonenumber at my old job started with 63, the other week I found a drawer in the back outside a shop and checked to see if it was empty and saw the number 63 written inside it. Back in 1998, 63 youths died in a major fire in Gothenburg, Sweden where i'm originally from. Coincidence? Don't think so. I would love to know what it means. Nice to see that isn't just me seeing this number.

Having the same occurances as you. I was born in 1963, my football number in H.S. was 63, the first touchdown I scored was for 63 yards. The highway marker I turn on every day is number 63. I have had dreams with the number 63. There is more to this then what can be explained. Glad to know I am not crazy yet!

I can't believe i'm not alone!! ..i'v been seeing the no.63 EVERYWHERE since i was in my early teens but lately in my 30's i see it on a daily basis, sometimes three or more times a day.. some would think i'm obsessive & 'look' for the number but no its very random.. first set of digits in a phone number, post codes, House numbers i'v lived in, change given in a shop, prices on goods i buy, family dates of birth, the list is endless! the past few weeks iv looked at the clock on my phone either out & about or at home (randomly) & its always said 6.30 on the dot.. i thought i was going mad until i started researching & relieved an surprised to discover how many other people see it daily without looking for it!!
