Monday's Number
Small anecdote that will conclude the weekend surrealism for most of you and get you ready for the week by giving you.. math!
Heh, not really. Just a number. Today's number is 41, which was the tent Scott and I got at McAlister's for lunch. Where have you heard this number before?
If you're familiar with "Ben Hur," Judah's assigned number as a rower on the Roman galley was 41. Excuse me... XLI. Right before the naval battle where he saved the the life of Quintus Arrius (the ship's commander), Quintus told his slave driver to "unchain XLI." This move to help a slave ended up saving the Roman fleet. How touching.
