It’s Doomsday, Alright

Sunday, July 9th, 2006

My friend Carole said of the subject of my last post: “7/7 is, like, Doomsday!”

It is a very odd coincidence that in the Doomsday Algorithm, devised by Mr John H. Conway, the Doomsday of a year falls on 4/4, 6/6, 8/8, 10/10, and 12/12, though not, unfortunately, 7/7.

Next post predicted tomorrow: “Dry Eyes in the Pouring Rain”.
