Numbers are fun, besides being cool like bow ties are cool. Number patterns show up all around us, just like God does.
The odometer on your car regularly shows a palindrome; how often depends on the number of digits displayed. Dates have numerical representations – who doesn’t like PI Day (3/14 = March 14 ~ 3.14 ~ PI)? You can tip exactly 15% or 20%, or you can tip an amount that makes the dollars and the cents equal (e.g. $37.37). Prime numbers are especially indivisible. The Fibonacci sequence shows up in nature’s loveliness.
And, for a bonus, there are some jokes about numbers! The best ten-word joke ever:
What did the zero say to the eight?
“Nice belt.”
