my weird obsession

['andersom']

I like 4 digit number patterns. 

1313, 2323, 3232, 6060, 1212....6777, 2777, 2333, 5888, you get the picture. 

Four digit numbers can confuse me. When I get told what to pay at the supermarket, I may type in that number as my pincode.......

One of the best four digit numbers is 1551 for me.

recently i have found my self having this weird obsession about my karma rating... i dont know why and i dont know how it started but i want to keep my karma/post ration above 1:10 dont ask me why because i dont fucking know.

but... is this weird? or do you guys obsess about karma too?


  for weird obsessions on the internet? XD lol... or maybe you want to  me for being such a freak?

I plead guilty, 

Had that for a short while here too. Then I became a postwhore and didn't see the ratio any more. Much more fun.

The Swedish king Karl XII wanted to introduce a nonagesimal system, i.e. counting based on the number 9. He's also one of the persons that many shrinks have "diagnosed" with AS posthumously.

I like 1588 because of the Spanish Armada. A little known fact is that the Spanish Armada was fleeing the Spanish Inquisition.

I tend to obsess about numbers but right now my OCD is focussing on other things. Thankfully. Last thing I need is another obsession.

I read a Stephen King book. The main character was obsessed with numbers, and funnily enough the worst number for him was 19. Wonder if King has read Dec's rants. 19 is "the worst number in the entire universe" according to Dec.

Was it any good? What is the title?

I thought it was pretty good, yes. It was N. in the collection Just After Sunset. Most stories there were pretty cool.

18 is my favorite number

Woodrow Wilson's favourite number was 13. I don't know why, but I read it in a book by a Swedish historian. His points for the Versailles Treaty were supposed to been have 13 too, but he had to make them 14.

47 is my favourite number, followed by 32.

Why did he have to make them 14? Were people being superstitious about the number 13?

No, he couldn't get eveything he wanted contained in just 13 points.

In short the 14 points were:

 1. There should be an end to all secret diplomacy amongst countries.
 2. Freedom of the seas in peace and war
 3. The reduction of trade barriers among nations
 4. The general reduction of armaments
 5. The adjustment of colonial claims in the interest of the inhabitants as well as of the colonial powers
 6. The evacuation of Russian territory and a welcome for its government to the society of nations
 7. The restoration of Belgium
 8. The evacuation of all French territory, including Alsace-Lorraine
 9. The readjustment of Italian boundaries along clearly recognizable lines of nationality
10. Independence for various national groups in Austria-Hungary
11. The restoration of the Balkan nations and free access to the sea for Serbia
12. Protection for minorities in Turkey and the free passage of the ships of all nations through the Dardanelles
13. Independence for Poland, including access to the sea
14. A league of nations to protect "mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small nations alike."


Though everything ended in a farce anyway.

Argh! , so many numbers

I like some numbers. I remember enough of my multiplication tables to make use of them at work.
