    We have 5 digits on the end of each limb, which while interesting, may have been even more interesting had we had more.

      I saw a six-sided dice in the Egyptian museum the other week. It looked just like a modern dice, allowing for a bit of wear and tear given that it is thousands of years old.

          1/0 means you've got a bug in your code.

                  Actually, mathematically, division by zero is undefined. So you lose.

                  Side-note: The IEEE 754 Computer Standard for representing floating-point numbers in computers returns the standard's value of -+infinity, but the value itself meaningless; the associated Division by zero exception highlights this.

                    However, zero / zero also returns undefined. To my simple way of thinking, it should resolve as 0.

                      9

                      The 9th is my birthday. My husband's birthday is also on the 9th.

                      Cats are reputed to have 9 lives. However, one encounter with a car doing over 30 in a 30 zone usually disproves that.
