Numerology

In college, I was facinated with the divine numbers - Phi, pi, i, Armstrong number, angstrom number, Plank's constant, Kelvin...the list was endless. I decided to add a few other definitions to this ever-increasing list.

1. Hugh Jackman number - the number that has the most perfect symmetry no matter how badly written. Often, among a bunch of numbers, this number stands out in all its glory.

2. Jay Leno number - the number that just can't stop talking.

3. Superman number - the number that reduces other numbers to zero upon performing a mathematical operation.

4. Tom and Jerry number - the numbers that always go in pairs.

5. Peter Sellers number - the number that takes different forms in different mathematical operations and is generally recognised for popping out in the most unexpected of results.

6. Rambo number - the number that when used effectively in a division operation, reduces all complex mathematical formalae to 1.

7. Sharon Stone number - the number that is generally used as a decoy in trick questions. It has the ability to distract the student from the right answer.

8. George Bush number - this is not a number really. Its another word for "question mark".

9. Pamela Anderson number - erm....46-24-36?

10. Kate Moss number - the number that remains the same no matter how much you add or multiply it. Also called "size zero".
