Yesterday, the world’s sweetest miniature dachshund, our dog Tinker, turned nine years old.
It also happened to be the 238th birthday of the United States.
If you divide 238 by 9, you get 26.44, which is the new American record for a 10,000 meter run, set by Galan Rupp on May 30 of this year.
If you Google 26.44, you’ll also see a self portrait (number 26.44) by a Canadian blogger named Andrea Wrobel.
She calls it Metropolitan Unicorn.
If instead of dividing, you multiply 238 by 9 you get 2142. Look for that on line, and you’ll get lots of hits – all for Battlefield 2142, which must be a pretty popular video game.
The whole point of this exercise is that numbers do mean something, but this time they don’t mean much.
