My day was going so well I knew something was up. Then I realized the day and date. Hope yours is going as well as mine.

So far it's been quiet here. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop though. It can't last.

13 is the next number after 12 and the number before 14. Thus ends the significance of the number 13.

Got my 500GB external drive today and my HD cable box. So far so good.

Has anybody ever noticed that there are no level "13" floors on elevators? I know this is true with other countries, specifically asian countries, but someone told me this was the case in America as well. I never remembered to notice. I'll have to double check when I get on the elevator after work today.

Korea has a "13th" floor, but does not have "4th" floor.

I left to do grocery shopping and stop a few other places. I wanted to go to the bank. When I set down the check to open the door and leave, I left without it. :(
Oh, and it's really damn hot today.

In some of Asia, I think the number 4 has that distinction. That's why there was no Arctic Silver 4 - it went straight from AS3 to AS5.

Yes, numbers are going to affect the workings of the universe.
But what if the Universe really uses base 2 numbering? I guess then we're all screwed. 13 and 4 are both affronts to nature.

4 = death/die :)

Well...to be exact the Chinese character that sounds like the word 4 in Korean means death/die. I think. :confused:
