I flew home from Atlanta, bought a slice of pizza. I nearly flipped out and frightened the cashier when the total came to $2.17.

I have seen $2.17, $2.45, $2.47, $2.53, $2.54, $2.56 and once $3.30(!) as gas prices.

My new college ID number includes 1072 (Harker Robotics).

I take Latin, and our passages have line numbers. I have noted Teams 1, 4, 8, 11, 16, 20, 25, 33, 45, 47, 48, 60, 67, 69, 71, 75, 79, 85, 100, 111, 114, 115, 116, 121, 141, 148, 245, 247, 253, 254, 256, 330, 341, 365, 399, 499, 538, 604, 668 and 692. There are over 2000 lines in the Aeneid, but each book (chapter) restarts its line count.

Every time I look at my (24-hour) clock and it says 0:01, 0:04, 0:08, 0:11, 0:16, 0:20, 0:25, 0:33, 1:00, 1:11, 1:14, 1:15, 1:16, 1:21, 1:41, 2:45, 2:47, 2:53, 2:54, 2:56, 3:30, 3:41, 6:04, 7:01, 7:16, 8:41, 8:42, 8:46, 8:52, 9:10, 10:24, 11:14, 15:01, 15:03, 15:19, 17:17, 17:26 or 19:02, I get a little distracted. I have probably missed a few.

A couple of days later, I checked one of my email folders, and there were exactly 766 (!) emails in it.

On Wednesday, I took the AB Calculus exam. Found 980 in one of the numbers...

Today, I was at our school's badminton meet (I play) and one of the scores was 15:03. Another score was 15:01.

There are currently KRUNCH days until IRI.

Hm. I'm insane, aren't I? :o

Finally, someone who thinks like me. I see a number, and I see a team. Last year before IRI, I was buying a book, and they had some weird discount %. The book originally would cost WITH shipping $15.19 and with the discount, it was $11.14. Who knew we would play each other at IRI.

If I listed out all the numbers I saw with team names. I would talk your ear off:p

you have 177 posts, BOBCATS baby LOL

~My robotics friend worked as a cashier, and she once had a total order of $16.76.

~I was playing Pocket Tanks, on my iTouch, for a non-robotics trip to Massachusetts, and I got 111 points for my shot.

~I always seem to look at the clock when its 11:14

During nationals there were several snack foods in the hotel store that, with a five dollar bill, returned $1.77 in change. Also, at the cafe where my team ate breakfast someone on our team got order number 177 on two consecutive days (once it was me).

I recently took a business trip to Texas -- a place I rarely go. As I got up the first morning and put the address in my GPS, imagine my surprise as I saw 1902! A couple of days later as I got ready to check in for my return flight I noticed the flight number --1592! Guess what two teams shared a bus to Atlanta this year? You got it....1592 & 1902.
