A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

Just a top of my head critique: # the number of straight lines on any cubic surface is 27 Huh? I count 12 lines to make a cube. And what does it mean "on any cubic surface?" # if you add the numbers between 2 and 7 the result is 27 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 18 # the largest number which is also the sum of the digits in its cube is 27 What does this mean? # the number of pieces in a rubik's cube is 27 There are 54 faces in a Rubik's cube, and there are 26 external cubes that can be rotated. I can't imagine they are rotated by one piece. # the number of letters in the greek alphabet is 27 don't know # the number of letters in the hebrew alphabet is 27 't'isn't true # the number of letters in the spanish alphabet is 27 there are 29. ch, rr, and enye being the extra ones. w and k are mainly used in foreign adopted words, however. # the moon takes 27 days to orbit the earth 27.3 days but I'll allow this one. # the sun revolves on its axis every 27 days 25 days at its equator, 30-some days at its poles. # it takes 27 days for a human cell to re-grow um. . . which cell? Some aren't replaced, some are replaced much more quickly. And what does "regrow" mean for a human cell?

It means: 27³ = 19,683 1+9+6+8+3 = 27 This is not true for any number larger than 27. > # the number of letters in the hebrew alphabet is 27 't'isn't true Actually, it depends on how they're counted. The most common counting I've seen only counts once for dotted-letters like bet and vet, but includes final letters, like ם. Counted that way, you get 27. (This counting makes sense, since technically the dots in bet and kaf are vowels, not unique letters, and final-letters sort of are.) > # the number of letters in the spanish alphabet is 27 there are 29. ch, rr, and enye being the extra ones. w and k are mainly used in foreign adopted words, however. Since 1994, Spanish no longer considers ll, ch, or rr as unique letters. Ñ is the only letter in the Spanish alphabet not also in the English one. See the Wikipedia article.
