| Numbers
A new little bit of fun... (after all there aren't enough games here  )
Post a response to the previous number and a new number for the next person. A response should be
1) Some little bit of trivia or historical fact relating to the number.
ex. number: 86, the longest number of years between Red Sox champinships.
2) Something personally relevant about the number
ex. number: 6, the number of times I saw some movie, or the number of siblings I have. (that last bit's not true)
or
3) Something sarcastically funny
ex. number: 52, the number of potential beards that Tom Cruise's publicist went through before landing on Katie Holmes.
Try to keep it an even mix to keep the game lively and interesting.
And away we go...
32
