will 2013 be unlucky?

hey all you number freaks out there (and the rest of you too... especially those afraid of the maths), are you superstitious about the number 13?... do you think the coming year will be somehow unlucky?... superstitions are not the way for me (with apologies to stevie wonder), so the number of the year will not matter much... in fact, when you consider it will be 2013 on just the one calendar we arbitrarily chose as the date tracking system we use at the moment in our culture, the number becomes even less meaningful... it's like 5773 in the jewish calendar and 2556 in the buddhist calendar and 6762 in the assyrian calendar and 1434 in the islamic calendar and 4345 in the korean calendar and here's a whole bunch of them) and more and still more... the year is quiet an arbitrary number depending on when you start counting...

for all we know it could be the year 131313 on some calendar...

would that be even scarier? :)

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
