Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places

Our team went to Denny's for dinner one night. We were looking at the menu when we realized that they had 4 or 5 items on the menu that were priced at "5.99". We had a good kick out of makign the waitress realize that what we ordered corresponded with the number on all of our t-shirts! :-D

Oh yea, one more thing with "599" in it.

399. Imagine how many times that shows up... $3.99 is an easy price to find.

I've seen it on a couple license plates though, so cool... Can't remember too many others besides the countless receipts.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places

Today on the way to a team meeting I bought a Monster, some mints and Gas.

I emptied my wallet (and coin tray in my car) and put all the extra into the gas.

The total for the Monster and mints was $2.94 and the amount left for Gas was $3.30 (another southbay team).

That was weird....

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places

This is rather freaky. If you take the number of the Beast (666), mod it by 512, and multiply it by 10 you get 1540. This does not seem like a good omen...

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places

Doing research on Robert Boyle (one of the gas laws: volume is inversely proportional to pressure), I found this:

Quote:

Among the critics of the views put forward in this book was a Jesuit, Franciscus Linus (1595–1675), and it was while answering his objections that Boyle enunciated the law that the volume of a gas varies inversely as the pressure, which among English-speaking peoples is usually called after his name, though on the continent of Europe it is attributed to Edme Mariotte, who did not publish it till 1676.
[NOTE] I put in the rather long quote for context. If you want to read about Robert Boyle (trust me, it's not very interesting), you can find it here. [/NOTE]

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places

It's amazing how often it happens, the team number gets stuck into your mind.
During this build season, MLK Jr. Day was 1/15, if I remember correctly, and then it was called MVRT day to try to get members to show up on that day.
And then, the final night of build, it was 1:15 AM, and we were like, "It's MVRT time!"

The cheapest flight I could have had to Atlanta cost $571 (Paragon). (Any idea why I'm not going? )

During lunch in the NYC regional my friend and I went to Subway to catch some lunch and our combined price including tax was $16.60. We were in shock!
