I did a double-take on the "Minnie Pi" ... you're funny.

AJ didn't get my "hair standing on end" picture. I thought it to be a totally elegant way to show how I felt about the higher math string. Apparently too subtle?

(I did, indeed, boot him off the rower last night. He'd been changing spark plugs, or some other stuff under the hood of his little car, and was infringing on "my" time. Ruthless.)

hmm, my meters should have been there, but apparently they did not get added to my log last night. It's been updated this AM. In any case, yesterday's 5218 was not a random number ...

The word for moon in Hebrew is yerah - unable to figure out a way to get this bulletin board to display a hebrew font, but suffice to say that it is spelled with 3 consonants - yud (10), resh (200) and het (8) = 218.

So now you know...

if 10.436 meters show up tomorrow - it's really 2 days.

This looked moon-ish and possibly Hebrew ... ?

To all.

Of the over 8 million hits on Youtube, one person who watched was an executive from Atlantic Records. These guys now have a record deal and are touring the country! How wonderful!

Enough number series. How about a word puzzle? Okay, what is a common 9 letter English word that if you remove 1 letter at a time each time a new English word is formed all the way down to one letter?

Post solutions.

Dan, I did not receive that answer through email.
But this may help.
