Things you don't need to know…

Ahhh. That one was great, just what this thread is all about.

pibbur who would like to thank the Omega.

List of some top books readers put aside and why.

Omega who's wondering whether this entry will please pibbur as well, because some people may have been longing for such an infographic. So maybe it shouldn't be in this thread…

The Omega can rest assured that pibbur is very happy with her contributions.

pibbur who has to admit that there may be people who find even the most humble and meaningless post interesting, pibbur being one of them.

Apparently I'm a journalist fraud with no integrity. You know whats most shocking I'm not a journalist. I never was.

I suggest we call it puibbur. Or pibbur could change his name to "S/2004 N 1", might be easier. After all, the powers that be refused to name "S/2011 (134340) 1" (around Pluto) "Vulcan", despite overwhelming support for that name in the public and in Capt. Kirk. In stead they called it "Kerberos."

pibbur could of course also change his name to Kerberos. Anything to get a celestial object named after him.

pibbur who ponders and ponders. And ponders.

At least it would allow you to become authenticated….. Sorry…

Another name I've taken a liking to (as far as using it for a character, one of the plant thingies, in GW2) is Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré.

Jaz knows of course all about where that comes from.

pibbur who also knows where Üdü Ẁüdü comes from. Zeuhl!!!!

The best thing about this thread is that even after reading the various posts, you still don't know the things you don't need to know…

yep -

The full name of Los Angeles is “El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula” – you can shorten it to 3. 63% of its length “L. A.”

"I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall"

The number 142857

The number 142857 multiplied with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 results in products, that have all the same six digits in another order:

1 x 142857 = 142857
3 x 142857 = 428571
2 x 142857 = 285714
6 x 142857 = 857142
4 x 142857 = 571428
5 x 142857 = 714285

Rows & columns of the products match, too.

HiddenX, who loves mathematics!

There must be an explanation.

I see it!
