33

  • is the number that has the meaning “good will always triumph over evil”
  • is the code for international direct-dial phone calls to France
  • is the age of Alexander the Great when he died
  • is the atomic number of arsenic
  • is a significant number in modern numerology, one of the master numbers along with 11 and 22
  • is the title of the first episode of the new Battlestar Galactica television series
  • is the number of vertebrae in a normal human spine
  • is not the answer to life, the universe and everything. It’s still 42.

is also the number of years I’ve been breathing on this planet today.

Re-quoted my favorite poem:

“As through the calendar I delve
I pause to rejoice in April twelve.
Yea, be I in sickness or be I in health
My favorite date is April twealth.
…”
“Lines in Praise of a Date Made Praiseworthy Solely by Something Very Nice That Happened to It”,
by Ogden Nash

me! @ May 24, 2008 6:08 PM

hahaha! 42! teteup…. sorry, bener2 lupa and dah lama ga ngakses blog ini juga bosen liat judulnya masih dengue2 juga rasanya lebih tepat kalau saya mengucapkan “happy 33 years old” =)

sekedar menambahkan

33 adalah jumlah jurus yang harus dikuasai pada masing2 tingkat pendekar silat cimande, which is ada 3 tingkat. ini fakta! boleh tanya ke IPSI.

Abe Poetra @ May 26, 2008 3:06 PM
