I have 1170 posts now. If I multiply 1170 by 47 I get 54990. I don't think that it is a coincidence that 5 + 4 = 9 and 9 + 0 = 9 either.
Hmmmm....
Hmmmm....

There was a Discovery Channel show the other day about a fellow named Daniel Tammet. He is known as the most "normal" savant out there, and his biggest thing is numbers. He recited Pi to (I think) around 22,000 digits from memory on live TV and nailed every single digit. Took like 5 hours.

What's even funnier is that Daniel actually does "see" the numbers in his head. He says each number has a unique look. The show was called "Brain Man"....it was pretty wild stuff.
Seen that program too. The dude is amazing, but I pity him. Seeing nothing but umbers is pretty tough life...

I would guess that it would be like someone who is colorblind or tone deaf. Their brain adjusts for it, so it's not an impediment.
I wonder how a naked girl looks in numbers?

Well Mike, there was probably at least a 47% chance that this thread would go in a direction other than the one you hoped.
