PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION TO HELP SAVE BABIES.


Dear Friend,

We are petitioning Google™ to create a doodle in honor of Prematurity Awareness Day, November 14th. Google is famous for their doodles*, and each one is seen by millions of people around the world, highlighting many interesting holidays and causes. Premature Birth is a global crisis, so what better way to draw attention to this terrible problem than by having a doodle created for Prematurity Awareness Day?

As of this morning, we tallied over 27,000 signatures. That's how many people think our fight against premature birth is worthy of worldwide recognition! There's strength in numbers, so we need your help! Please be a part of this grassroots effort to save babies from premature birth!


Button
As always, thank you for your continued support!
March of Dimes

Arrested Development!


Oh yeah! My favorite TV show, in the KNOW! I didn't notice it at the time, but now that I made it through Season 3 DVD's I found a 27!!!

Michael goes into the Bluth office and finds one of his co-workers got hurt while partying (I think it was from their stocks jumping to "Risky" from a "Don't Buy" level...)

He walks over to the wipe off board that says..

"27 days since last employee injury"

And then erases the 27 and puts 1.

27 bleeps

The lovely and talented Carla Ulbrich
is selling a single of her song If I Had the Copyright (the F word Song). Here's the text description:

From the documentary (F**k) about the F word (this is the first song you hear in the movie). It's about how wealthy the singer would be if she had the copyright on that ever-popular word. The F word is used 27 times...

Countdown - 27 Days!

Well, it’s not exactly a big month or anything. I’m only changing jobs, having a birthday, and publishing my first novel. Big whoop. Not that I care or anything, but the date for the book launch party at Elliott Bay Books is June 5. Things will get rolling at 7 p.m. with drinks and appetizers then I’ll get up and babble drunkenly at about 7:45. Hey, it worked for Charles Bukowski. BE THERE! IT’S ONLY THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF MY LIFE! I mean, it’s just another day.

Power of 27.

Gotta love that Jen 14,221!

i did not get to see depeche mode in concert...boo hoo

Oh my, three days with out a post! Where was I? Not with Jenn in Vegas at the Hard Rock, that's for sure. I've been busy. Doing:

Yardwork, laundry, cooking, cleaning, reading and re-reading the Buffalo Spree, chasing after the boy, finally cracking open The Da Vinci code (I am one of 27 people in the US who have not read it, right?), work, etc.

Also - last night - a first. I skipped the Apprentice and went to bed at 9:15pm. Don't worry, I have TiVo. I'll watch it tonight.

The SIMPSONS 27 :)

Ah, on the new episode of The Simpsons tonight...

“Girls Just Wanna Have Sums”


Lisa dresses up as a boy to prove the best math student is really a...girl. In one of her dream sequences all these math symbols and signs are floating around along with one number 27. Which I immediately pointed out to Mark, and then of course the 27 spoke to her...it said .

"27."

Submitted for our pleasure

Thanks to The Smarmy Carny, who writes:

27 is my favorite number, so I always keep an eye out for it. I noticed one last night:

In the movie Everything Is Illuminated, the main character (Elijah Wood) flies back to the United States and walks out of Gate 27 at the airport.

It should be noted that binary for 27 is palindromic and pretty: 11011


Keep 'em coming!

And from the book...

"I stepped away from him, and he took another step closer, backing me into the twenty-seven foot conference table in the middle of the room."

#27

In Wikipedia! :)

27 (twenty-seven) is the natural number following 26 and preceding 28. Twenty-seven is the smallest positive integer requiring four syllables to name in English, though it can be unambiguously defined in just two: "three cubed". It is the first composite number not divisible by any of its digits. It is the radix (base) of the septemvigesimal positional numeral system.

Twenty-seven is a perfect cube, being 33 = 3 × 3 × 3. 27 is 3↑↑2 (using Knuth's up-arrow notation). It is also a decagonal number. It is the magic result of a prime reciprocal magic square of the multiples of 1/7. It is a Smith number and a Harshad number. There are exactly 27 straight lines on a cubic surface. It is the twenty-eighth (and twenty-ninth) digit in π. (3.141592653589793238462643383279).

A 10,000-day-old person is 27 years old.


Twenty-seven is also:

Chapter 27

Chapter 27 (2007) - A film about Mark David Chapman in the days leading up to the infamous murder of Beatle John Lennon. "Chapter 27," is a reference to the 26 chapters in the J.D. Salinger coming-of-age novel "The Catcher in the Rye," which Chapman cited as his inspiration for the murder. Chapman has said he identified with the book's hero, who hated phonies, and gunned Lennon down because he thought him a hypocrite.

Leonard Cohen 27

"I was born like this, I had no choice.
I was born with the gift of a golden voice.
And 27 angels, from the great beyond
they tied me to this table right here in the tower of song."

From Tower of Song by Leonard Cohen.

Thank you, Scott! :)

"Poem #27 or "Its design is like a forest & a forest is no design at all"

Originally blogged here. :)

Disclosure: I am not really a fan of poetry. I dabble in it here and there, and sometimes find a poet I really like. Most times, I just don't get it. Or care too. Spencer's collection, for the most part, is quite over my head. I don't get the style, but again, I am not a poetry person. I do know that generally speaking, while reading this collection... my heart felt heavy and I wanted to untangle his sadness, knowing it would be impossible to do so. If that makes any sense at all...I DID however realize that Mr. Short is in the *know* about the number 27.

Evidence being "Poem #27 or "Its design is like a forest & a forest is no design at all"
