It seems to me, especially recently, that the numbers 5 and 8 appear together alllllll the time! Does anyone else notice it? With any other numbers? Or am I just noticing it because I am somewhat concious of it?

Maybe they’re, you know, involved.
I dunno, 1s and 0s seem to be really popular with the computer crowd. Is this a conspiracy, or what?

Be very afraid.

Well, if you go biblical, the numbers 7,12 and 40 appear a LOT!
Omigod! Now that you mention it, I see that my 8 key is right next to the 5 key on my keypad! And on my phones! And on my calculators! AAUUGGHH!!!
Well, it all comes down to the law of fives. See, 5 is a mystical number, being the number of fingers on a hand, toes on a foot, etc. It breaks down into 2 and 3, which are the basic mystical numbers because they combine to form 5.
Take 5 and 8. Subtract 5 from 8 and you get 3.
So we have a 5, another 5, and a 3. That’s 2 5s. If you wanted, you could subtitute the number 2 for the 2 5s. Add it to the 3 and what do you get? 5!
Oh yeah, and my area code is 518.
:eek: There it is again, damnit! :eek:
For me, it’s the numbers 1 - 3 - 7, and occasionally 0, in any combination. This came from my Mom’s lottery-playing days and driving around playing certain numbers on “hunches”: I would invariably see these things POP out at me.
And this just in:
5+8=13
Friday is the 5th day.
There is no 8th day.
Spooky…
… and I was born on May eighth … 5 and 8 !!!
Then what were the Beatles singing about in “8 Days A Week”? … maybe its another Paul-is-Dead clue?
I don’t know about all that nimber stuff. All I know is that my laundry is done. (Ahh…clean sheets!)
42 Six times nine. Forty-two.
Mine too.
The number that keeps popping up in my life is 12. I have adopted it as my own.
