If you take 4 +7 you get 11 and if you add 1 and 1 you get 2. But if you do that sum in binary you get 1. 1 and 2 divide half of all numbers
including 50 which is my age this year 
Spooky or what?

Spookier and spookier.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
