I used to really enjoy number games. Now part of what I do for a living is play them for real. I don't enjoy them anymore.

Last night, I watched a program on the National Geographic Channel about the book of Revelation in the Bible. Now, I am a graduate of a theological seminary (but my degree is in Church Music). I never realized how much of the book was written in numerical code. Or that the term "rapture" was never used until a schoolgirl in England went public with a dream she had many, many years ago.

It's a joke, son. A joke, I say.

Clever.

Ah, not mathematics at all, but numerology. Wonder if ol' Foghorn is acquainted with haruspex?

Sorry. The only things I see on that end of the scale are platinum and a White dwarf star. Don't remember any dwarf named "Chucky"

Interesting--the chart does make a great case for a steel sousaphone, however (lighter than brass).
