Hi everyone!
I know for most of you this time has passed, but there's still the chance for some to be aware of this!
at 01:02.03 this afternoon it will be 01:02.03 04-05-06
(hour minute second month day year).
Just a little fun!
Anyone know any other fun with numbers?
Why did 6 hate 7?
Because 7 8 9!
<3 Caite

Q. If it's "one for the money" and "two for the show", what are "three" and "four"?

Some fun facts with numbers  There are no letters assigned to the numbers 1 and 0 on a phone keypad. These numbers remain unassigned because they are so-called "flag" numbers, kept for special purposes such as emergency or operator services. If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, it means that the person died in battle. If the horse has one leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes? A jiffy is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. |

This isn't exactly "fun" but it has to do with numbers, so, hey:
On 17 January a British Airways Boeing 777 crash landed at Heathrow.
The very next day the movie "Mad Money" crash landed at theatres, coming in a dismal number 7 with $7.7 million.

If the horse has one leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. What happens if he died because of wounds received in battle? Did you know that the number nine is very strange? If you multiply any number by 9 or a multiple of 9, the resulting product will also be a multiple of nine when you add up the digits. For example, 2 times 9 is 18 and 1+8 = 9. Also 231107 times 3591 = 829905237. 8+2+9+9+0+5+2+3+7 = 45, which is a multiple of nine. Jon |

If the horse has one leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. What happens if he died because of wounds received in battle? I think the horse is portrayed with its right front leg in the air. Thanks for this Jon, I had to reread my post to believe I had posted it! I like my bit about a jiffy being an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second  That's interesting about the number 9! Best wishes Jon Joe |

And yours was Reply #9, so that just adds to the problem.  |

If the horse has one leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes? So i guess my question is - What happened if the horse only has one leg on the ground? Does that mean the horse died of some unnatural cause? |

What happens if the person died as a result of injuries caused by the horse?  Roger |

It seems there should be some statue of limitations; maybe a gallop poll would give us a leg up on this.
