Accidental Time and Space
New York Lottery today— midday 987, evening 522.
Time
The midday 987 may be interpreted as "…nine, eight, seven, …."—
"The countdown as we know it, 10-9-8-u.s.w.,
was invented by Fritz Lang in 1929 for
the Ufa film Die Frau im Mond . He put it into
the launch scene to heighten the suspense.
'It is another of my damned "touches,"' Fritz Lang said."
Space
The evening 522 suggests the date 5/22. From that date last year—
