I do not like the number five. I believe Five drives around in a red Mustang wearing mirrored sunglasses. Five lounges at lights with one arm out the window, slapping the side of the car to the beat of Van Halen's "Runnin' With the Devil." I'd like to wipe that look off Five's face. When running, Five bounds with an uneven gait, like a hare with a bum ankle. Five is prime, which I find obnoxious: why should a number refuse to divide by anything other than itself and one? Who does it think it is?

The whole article appears to be a plug for a book about personifying numbers, but it's an inspired (dare I say, Discordian) plug.

7 is the number 5 wishes it was

that looks suspiciously like the number eleven

[LMNO]

ELEVEN.

That was neat! This Grapes of Math book sounds awesome. Just slip 'em the numeriliogy while they're in casual reading mode and vulnerable, yes.

Bravo, I had to look at your username to realize that was not, in fact, a genuine hirley0 post.

Define 2.5 as an integer.  Then it could be divisible by 5.
Dude, awesome! <(￣︶￣)↗[GO!]

I don't pay anything for this forum to still exist. I'm not an administrator, or a moderator. And, I'm not even close to being one of the very few active members who have been here the longest.

But, you are playing the "Discordian game," you've now introduced yourself, and there's even a possibility that you may decide to hang out here for a while. So, I'll give you two (2), personal, not-really-worth-a-damn, opinions about why your first post here was ignored.

First, you chose your first post to be on a topic that was dead for over ten (10) years.

Second, that dead topic was started by a member who hasn't posted here themselves in over five (5) years.

There are more reasons, of course. But, if you hang around here for a while, you'll figure those out for yourself. I'm tempted to welcome you to the forum, but that's "the kiss of death" around here.
