The Lottery

What these numbers mean to me:

720: See the recent entries

Music for Dunne's Wake,

720 in the Book, and

Report to the Joint Mathematics Meetings.

616 and 201:

The dates, 6/16 and 2/01,
of Bloomsday and St. Bridget's Day.

510:  A more difficult association…

Perhaps "Love at the Five and Dime"
(8/3/03 and 1/4/04).

Perhaps Fred Astaire's birthday, 5/10.

More interesting…

"… there are many associations of ideas which do not correspond to any actual connection of cause and effect in the world of phenomena…."

— John Fiske, "The Primeval Ghost-World," quoted in the Heckler & Coch weblog

"The association is the idea"

— Ian Lee on the communion of saints and the association of ideas (in The Third Word War, 1978)
