Numbers.....I understand what Salmo is getting at as we [mankind] made them up, but I disagree towards the value. Numbers add nothing but value to me. I like it when my checks have an extra zero before the decimal, and how else would we tag the specific location on our GPS, or track the dates that the fish come through a river? As for odd date and time stamps, I was born at 4pm on 7/7/74. So your odds of having the same birthday with others is like 20,000 to 1 so nothing new there. Now if I can just figure how to match up those powerball numbers........hmmmmm.
