In recognition of my 100th blog entry, I thought I would talk a little bit about round numbers. We like to make mention of certain numeric goals. I know I cast recognition for these targets myself, but when you think about it, not all of these numbers are really "round."
Sure, 100 has some roundness to it, but the front end of that number is extraordinarily flat. No matter how you draw a number 1, it is as flat as the earth was before Columbus and Magellan. If we are talking about truly round numbers, none should be recognized more than an 8. Sure, 3's, 5,s, 6's and 9's all have their own curvature, but nothing is more round than an 8. It is one round object on top of another! Making it twice as round as a 0! So why isn't 0 x 2 = 8???
Just sayin...
