Baby don't forget my number

Got this from an ex-colleague.
Too smart for his own good, I suppose.

The Hell of a Date

Did you know ...?

At 34 minutes 56 seconds past noon, on 7th August 2009, the time and date on that Friday will be 12:34:56 07/08/09 - I mean the British way.

Finally comes some "marriageable date and time" for odd couples suffering from numerical perversion.

Or, for eBay mathepreneurs, here's a zillion-in-one chance for auctioning some once-in-a-lifetime collectible items tattooed with that numerological sign for die-hard collectors.

Indeed, only your limited imagination would stop you from not leveraging or capitalizing on that "arithmetical oddity" to earning some obscene bucks.

So, stop your half-past-six editing or dreaded re-writing for a while, and start thinking like a five-to-nine e-worker^! I mean, stop doing the "write/rite/rights thing" for a moment, and think of creatively making the numbers work for you.

As for me, I'm figuring out how to capture that memorable date with a rented second-hand, first-generation digital camera - I mean using the technology of zeros and ones to take a shot of our first ten digits, which had served us so well since mankind discovered the usefulness of numerals* to enumerate# their sheep and goats.

So, start befriending these "friendly numbers" to make them work for you! Believe it or not, trading numbers can make you RICH! Sell your "prosperous numbers" to the irrationally superstitious (especially with the Seventh Month in view) or the numerically challenged - an innumerate lot longing to buy those "good-omened numbers". Remember: Numbers do numb the weaklings!

^ On average, a 9-to-6 worker slogs it out three times more and earns three times less than a 6-to-9 e-worker.
