Silly Saturday

13 November 2021 Hello readers, it's the weekend, woohoo how are your rest days coming along. No rest for the wicked in my case as I am still in work mode. 13 is the number in the November challenge and so far so good. It got me thinking about the number 13. Here in the west, it can be seen to be unlucky. For me though it is one of my lucky numbers, I love its uniqueness. 13 is a prime number and it is also a Fibonacci number Fun fact ... Fibonacci Day is November 23rd What on earth is a Fibonacci number? It is a number in the Fibonacci sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ... **Did you guess the next number?** **It is 55** You get the next number by adding up the two numbers before it. **So 21 + 34 =55** There you go, a fun bit of maths! What about Triskaidekaphobia.. Do you know what that is? **Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the the number 13.** More about 13 ... Many airlines remove row 13 from their planes to avoid making passengers nervous. Many tall buildings also 'remove' the 13th floor, jumping straight from 12 to 14. The Death Tarot card is number 13 In Italy it is a lucky number *"***fare tredici***"* (translated "**make thirteen**") means to **hit the jackpot** something we need to do @jasglaybam although she did it na in **I am rich now but please don't tell my family!** https://read.cash/@jasglaybam/i-am-rich-now-but-please-dont-tell-my-family-1be980ca And for our friends in Venezuela many sportspeople have chosen number 13 as their squad number, including Dave Concepción, Omar Vizquel, Oswaldo Guillén and Pastor Maldonado. Enough of 13, do you think it is lucky or unlucky? Enough with being silly, I was watching football whilst I was working and they were talking about silly things. I had a flashback to when I was working in London. I used to play in a five a side football team and one of the guys was getting married. We had a stag night planned but were playing a league match first. So we had to play in fancy dress. What was that fancy dress I hear you ask ? ... Ladies costumes, so there was "yours truly" dolled up in red fishnet stockings and suspenders, a black mini skirt, red bra and a black top, playing football. We did win lol but afterwards had to do a pub crawl in the same clothes plus black high-heeled stilettos. I take my hat off to all you ladies, lord knows how you are able to walk in those things. At one point I broke a heel and ripped my stockings! **What are some of the silliest things you have done?** Being silly is great, you get the **Best of Both Worlds** as @FarmGirl tells us. Do you know, back to drinking again that in American you aren't supposed to have alcohol containers in full view, so that is when you say to @CoquiCoin **I need a paper bag** https://read.cash/@FarmGirl/best-of-both-worlds-70a8cd51 https://read.cash/@CoquiCoin/i-need-a-paper-bag-f657ee90 **Hello? It's almost 2022!** @Marinov reminded me, which got me thinking how football in suspenders was an **Amusing Turn of Events** as @Pichi28 tells us . https://read.cash/@Marinov/hello-its-almost-2022-d24ca209 https://read.cash/@Pichi28/amusing-turn-of-events-5b0cefb7 Enough of this nonsense, as I was writing this article just now, I had a brainwave and know of a requirement that will be required when you enter my Christmas challenge, it will be a fun surprise that absolutely everyone can do, so I am quite chuffed that my wee brain thought of that. Have you ever been out driving and got lost, but then found some extraordinary place you had not know about? That is pretty cool, isn't it! Well that was this article. I was writing away with no real direction, took a wrong turning, got lost, then wham bam thank you ma'am I had my brainwave. Life is so unpredictable, that is what makes it predictably fun! I was helping a Chinese client late this afternoon who spoke no English so had to enlist the help of a Mandarin translator and I think my head is still in a whirl and not recovered so time for a quick coffee to unwind. I will get back to your articles and comments as soon as I can, if not tonight then on the moro. Remember if you can't be good, be careful!
