Bloody hell. Let's go for a drink, doc. (I don't even drink.)
Sorry I missed this, but I'm having a nice glass of wine now, and will be for the rest of the evening, so raise a glass of your favorite liquid refreshment and we can drink together.
Cheers!

Look, spirals are pretty and all, but you're infusing them with your own meaning, just as a numerologist infuses numbers with same, where they don't belong. (Note to Bob.)

For the past few months, I've been having shitloads of of synchronicities that amaze even me (I've mentioned them elsewhere before). But I attribute that to me paying attention to the linkages, not out of anything unusual. Example: I was just thinking about the approximate age of the universe, 13.772 billion years. As I thought this, a car with the license ending in 772 passed by. Was it neat? Sure. Was it a 'message from God' or something? No. It's my attention to it. Otherwise, it would just be a random plate number I'd otherwise take no notice of.

Now, would I like to think I'm receiving special messages from a higher power? That there is some meaning to these synchronicities I'm noticing? Absolutely!!! I can't stress how 'wanted' and 'meaningful' my life would feel!!! But, I'm not the center of 'Gods attention. Wish I was, because it would be the most secure feeling ever. But I'm not, and I accept this.
Bravo. I was hoping someone would put into words the idiocy of boob and his fixation on giving numbers a meaning and power they don't have. If he wants to study real maths then good for him, but he won't because it's so much more 'fun' to attribute non-existent magical, mystical powers to numbers. It suits his whacked-up agenda. It's easy to find seeming connections wherever you look, if you are that way inclined.
Now, if the plate had said something like Univ 13B, with a picture of a dalek, then I suppose that might give pause to wonder. Or, it could have been a case of deja-vu, when you think you have been thinking about something, but you actually haven't.

I think she called it a 'Mickey Finn', but I don't rightly recall.

Do you remember what time it was, right before you passed out?
