Was reading this post from BooMama about unboxing, a new online trend. It is such a manly thing to do. My husband keeps a close eye on the number of kms our car has done. I will not even attempt to remember the name of that piece of car equipment. Anyway, there are always several yay’s or yippee’s from the drivers seat when a significant number is passed. A significant number can be one of four things.
- A number ending in lots of zeroes – eg: 43,000
- A number that is all the same – eg: 44,444
- A number that is alternating such as 43,434
- A number that is a palindrome such as 43,034 although this one is a bit harder to catch as it flies past.
There is also a mourning period of around 20 minutes to half an hour if one of these significant numbers goes past without being noticed.
Men. They think we’re the inscrutable ones.
