as I see it

Not long ago I posted about a magic trick performed by Daivd Blaine. In the post I mentioned the magic trick he performs when he asks you to choose any 2-digit number between 1 and 50 having both digits odd an distinct, the number chosen the most is 37.

Here, I just found out some more about number 37. It is related to Mathematics.
Not a great deal, but then more than a usual number.
Just multiply 37 by multiples of 3 and check out the results.

37 X 03 = 111
37 X 06 = 222
37 X 09 = 333
37 X 12 = 444
37 X 15 = 555
37 X 18 = 666
37 X 21 = 777
37 X 24 = 888
37 X 27 = 999

First the magic trick and now this simple mathematics.
Interesting results...huh ?

Well I woke up today morning, did some RI work, read some magazine, went online, orkut, facebook and then thought of catching up with friends online on gtalk.

So I logged onto gtalk and hav 18 friends online out of which 12 have their status message set to "Do not disturb".

Believe me I know how busy they are :P

So was just wondering why do people set their status as "Do not disturb".

At the first place, almost everyone knows how busy you are :P

Secondly, if you are really so busy then why are you online ?

And then when people like me who even after reading this message start a conversation with you, why the hell do you respond, and can't you just act or control your emotions so that you actually don't let the other person know as to how desperately were you waiting for someone to message you. [:P]


Leaving aside these 12 people other 2 were "Away", 1 "zzzzzzzz" and 2 "Not at my Desk"
and the one left - well I discussed the same thing with him as well and laughed a lot at possible reasons each of us was putting forward.

And then that last guy had to go offline (for lunch), I thought of posting here and thus set even my status to "Do not disturb" just to check if it feels special or anything else of that sort.

Sorry guyz, especially to those 12, it was just a thought :P, no hard feelings.


EDITED PART goes here :

Just came here to append, that one other contact came online just now and they have their status set to - yes u guessed it right :P

Not long ago Barcelona's Lionel Messi scored a solo goal picking the ball up from inside his own half on the right flank in a King’s Cup tie against Getafe, he dribbled past two defenders, swerved past two more and rounded the goal keeper to score from a very tight angle. It was said to be exact replica of the goal scored by another great footballer former Argentinian striker Diego Maradona.



And yet again on Saturday Messi scored the famous (or infamous ?) HAND OF GOD goal against Espanyol which incidentally was also a replica of Maradona's 'Hand of GOD' goal against England in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.



Here is another close look



Cunning effort isn't it ?

But according to Messi, “We can talk a lot about that goal but these things happen in football. It only won us a point. There’s no point comparing me to Diego because he was unique. I’m not trying to score the same goals as him, they are simply things that happen during a match.”
Two great footballers, playing for the same country, first the solo wonder and then the HAND OF GOD replica. I wonder whats next :)
