bluegargantuaHi,
So you know how Sesame Street has those foam numbers that move around and interact with people/muppets? Yeah, in my dream last night they were all over the place. Sort of like numeric pokemon. The best part was that instantaneous, fully-formed dream-logic that said when two numbers love each other very much, genetic (numeric?) diversity was ensured via semi-randomized arithmetical reproductive operation. Normally, the kid would be the result of addition or multiplication. As each successive generation got larger, subtraction and division came into play -- especially as the difference between the two numbers increased. Division would only occur when the result would be a whole number.
I had a 7, but it left me to join another 7 being raised by wild dogs. *shrug* It's a dream.
later
Tom
