23 is a logical number? Just ask it if there is a reason for the universe and it'll give you back some egocentric claptrap about there being only one reason for existence and that is to serve it strawberry ice cream in a peach colored bowl. Now I ask you, where's the logic in that?

If it was banana ice I would have eaten it, instead of serving it.

You've all got it SOOOOOO wrong.

It's checkmate in 3, I tell ya.

happy_terd · 05-24-2010, 04:01 PM

Should I ask what this is all about or just go with it?

pshrynk · 05-24-2010, 04:03 PM

Well, the title of the thread is countdown. We start at an arbitrary number and the next person to post gives the next lower number. So, since we started at "33" (Or thereabouts) we are, obviously counted down since this is post #171. Simple really.

pshrynk · 05-24-2010, 04:03 PM

By the way, 171 is probably the next number in the sequence. Just sayin'...

pshrynk · 05-24-2010, 04:03 PM

No! 172!

Oh Crap.

Sometimes I think you drag things on cause you are getting paid by the hour.

pshrynk · 05-24-2010, 04:06 PM

Get over it.

$300, please. You can pay the guy with the fedora over there with his hand out.

I've been meaning to ask, who to we apply to to get cash for the IOU $100 chits that he keeps giving us as change from the $400 bills. You know, the ones that the nice nurses keep giving us?

27

This one would appear to be especially for Florence, since it is 3 x 3 x 3, or 3 to the power 3. For such an odd number it has a very nice symmetry. And I must admit having a fondness for 27.

However, I suspect that this number has a deeply hidden darker side. Among the clues are that it is made of 3x3x3 which is suspiciously close to 333, or half the beast. Then, there is the fact that 27 is the atomic number of cobalt, which is also known as kobold. Kobold is the name applied to various germanic sprites. Whilst some of these are good(ish) as the do household chores and help sailors, some are more evil plaguing miners being responsible for cave-ins and noxious gases.

So keep an eye on 27, just in case....

FlorenceArt · 05-25-2010, 05:27 AM

Oh yes, I love 27

But keep an eye on it just the same...

pshrynk · 05-25-2010, 07:00 AM

I thought we were at 172?
