ReplyTo a comment on Numbers In Heaven by Dovina.

Well this is a beautiful thread. Dovina, you should have made 140785 the number which your poem refers to because then, not only is it an odd number, it is also the number of this poem. Therefore all this highly mathematical logic would be meaningless because the poem would be about itself rather than a number selected at random. Reminds me of a definition of 'analysis' that Scott Adams gave - 'analysis' coming (according to him) from the Greek 'anal' and 'ysis' ('to pluck numbers from'). Which is all very relevant to this post.

ALChemy - what about a group of hypothetical concepts/objects that are grouped together solely because they're totally different? Then 'Article #183' would be unique.
Imagine the irony if it was also a eunuch.
