The most important numbers in the universe

'69'. No one mentioned 69. Isn't 69 an important number? How did that get left out? (APL has really dropped the ball on this one)

This is my favorite movie reference to 69

As a guy, I have 214 committed to memory, because I would never hear the end of it if I forget valentine's day

They can get touchy that way.

Once had a beagle that got to her candy and ate just about all of it.
That didn't do his movements any good. [I look at his urn with love every day.] At least the Gestapo still had the flowers.

Yeah!!! Why is that us guys can remember facts and numbers and never remember the anniversaries and birthdays of our wives, gfs and mothers?

Those numbers are the MOST important numbers in the universe to remember to keep you alive.

The English system is really dumb. Why are there 5,280 feet in a mile?

The US also standardized our railroad track gauge (4 feet 8-1/2 inches) to match the gauge of Roman Chariot wheels.

True story.

I always consider my anniversary date at least as important as Planck's constant.


Sidebar: I cannot believe I left out Avragado's number from the first post.

It's the width needed to fit 2 horses.

I think I might have heard of something like that. But I wonder if it's a Mason thing today. Our Founding Fathers were Freemasons. You can see the designs everywhere in Washington, D.C. The numbers were very, very important to them.

Like for example 32 or 33rd degree.

Sacred geometry is a fascinating use of numbers but it's Sunday so this is the best I can do.

HOLY SHIT! THE OWL!!! If you look closely at the back of a dollar bill, you'll see the owl hidden.

Freemasons worshiped the goat.

It has something to do with acres.

If we would just ditch the English system and switch to metric, everyone would get used to it in about 6 months.

Looks like you forgot 1 and zero.

I agree that it was really bad. The metric system is superior.

There is no 'superior' measurement system. There is no 'best' measurement system.
