Why Lucky 37?
Firstly, I was born in 1937, I then got an army number which ended in 1137 and I could go on for hours about how the number 37 has crossed my path.... and WOW just now I found out that my ranking is now 137 .
I am certainly pleased with my progress and can assure anyone here in WA who has joined because of the promises we all see here, will eventually exceed that figure solely by being involved in the community.

p.s. I'll tell you how lucky 37 has been to me.. I was once told that a horse called "Thirty Seven" was racing at Ascot... and better still, the race was due to begin at 11:37.
Wow, I thought, there is only one thing for it,. I'll put £37 on the nose to win!
I learned a great lesson that day... horse racing was not for me!
You guessed it, the horse came in 37th! :-)

Hi Roger, You made me laugh with your blog and I read out to my husband the bit about the horse called 'thirty seven'. He also laughed out loud. I actually like your number 37, it's a prime number and I've got a thing about prime numbers. Thanks for cheering me up on a sad day, just lost a family member (brain tumour). Ches
Sorry to hear of your sad loss Ches and I am glad that in some small way another human being was able to take your mind off your sadness for just a short while.
Blessings,
Roger
I really enjoy your posts Roger, great SOH, and ranking 137, you have obviously been working hard, best wishes.

What a coincidence. For me, the number seems to be quite a few of them :)
232
1337
1234
0123
and 8
All of those numbers affects me nearly on a daily basis o.o
Great post Rog.
Roger, think about this: 137 is the value of the fine-structure constant, one of the most mysterious things in physics... ;-)

Very interesting Loris. I particularly liked the quote " You might say the "hand of God" wrote that number, and "we don't know how He pushed his pencil." We know what kind of a dance to do experimentally to measure this number very accurately, but we don't know what kind of dance to do on the computer to make this number come out, without putting it in secretly!"
It all makes me sound as though I might be interesting? :-)

Well Roger that was probably a good thing in the long run if you had won you may have still been betting on horse and loosing. With Wa you are doing very well. It is good to have you as a friend. Don't take any wooden nickels. lol
