I already miss 10-10-10    :(     It was pretty cool!  I spent 4 hours of this special day watching the Ben 10 Ultimate Alien Marathon.  And my grandson wasn't even here!  I'm hooked on that show and when they make inside jokes I laugh openly even if I'm alone. And......I dvr-ed them! Anyways I hope we all live it up on 11-11-11.  It will be my grandson's 7th birthday on that day next year- I'm gonna take him to Vegas!

10 10 10 is also X X X, and it's 30 and half of 30 is 15 and half of 15 is 7.5 and 7+5=12 and half of 12 is 6 and half of 6 is 3 and half of 3 is 1.5 and 1+5=6+6=12 months.

10-11-10  is just not as interesting as good ol' 10-10-10. Assuming you are in the Eastern time zone- if you are not- I bid you greetings from the future!!! And it is an OK day, but no marathons or cool number mysteries!

Hey Charp 13 there is too a cool numbers mystery associated with this date!

Of you are old enough to have tried programming in the bad old days of punch cards and reel-to-reel memory tapes, you would have encountered binary math.

101010  is binary for: 42 !

Yes, The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything is 101010 in binary.

It may not be a significant numbers mystery.  But just in case, I have been keeping an eye out for Vogon construction ships . . .

My dad's birthday! How cool for him.

 Yay Fester!  I'll ask my husband about those numbers, he will probably squeal with delight!  :)  He was a programmer back in the day, so he will totally get it.  The month of October is pretty cool. Gracebuster- I hope your Dad has a terriffic day!

42?....I thought that was the number of bad films, Steven Seagal has made...  ;D

There IS a mystery Fester!! 101010=42.

42 is the age Elvis was when he died.

But many folks think he didn't REALLY die, but faked his death. Well, DID he or DIDN'T he??

There's your 101010 mystery, brought to you by the good folks at Castle Scatter.

Hey Danny, give your pops a birthday greeting from the UMA! How old is he now??
