    I cannot tell, suffice to say is one of the words the Knights of Ni cannot hear.

    ...they should have been given a shubbery.

    Interesting how The Light in the Piazza won more Tonys, but not Best Musical.

    but 3 is still a nice number I just hope that I can see it one day.


    Here's a simple version of it: |||
    The starred version of this is: ***
    In English texts you'll see it as: three
    In German texts you find it as: drei
    In French texts, look out for: trois
    In Italian texts you'll find: tre
    As roman numeral, it's: III.
    This is the decimal form: 3
    In base 2, it's 11
    However, computers will usually use 00000011
    Or rather 0000000000000011
    Actually, most systems today will use 00000000000000000000000000000011
    And some even 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000011
    Unless it's text, then they'll probably use 00110011
    Which often is expressed as '\063'
    Or as '\x33'

    Seen enough of it? :-)
