INDIVISIBLE PIG

Last night I had a fever - I may have caught whatever ailment Savage Kitten had on Friday - and consequently had the darndest time sleeping. The fever certainly influenced the mind, as there were two particularly vivid 'episodes'.
Twixt wake and sleep, strange things erupt.

I do some of my "best" thinking when not fully conscious.


Falling asleep: the impossible camaraderie of numbers

All prime numbers beyond 3 are separated from the next and preceding prime number by a multiple of two. 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, etcetera.
Even numbers are wet, prime numbers are dry.

If you take a number of two or more digits and reverse the first and last digits (for instance: changing 29 to 92, 103 to 301, 8007 to 7008 and so forth), the difference between the first number and the second will always be divisible by nine.

Subtract one from a square number and the resultant number is divisible by the number immediately preceding and following the root, and is in fact those two numbers multiplied by each other - for instance, 25 minus 1 is 24, which is divisible by 4 and 6; 144 minus 1 is 143 which is 11 times 13, etcetera.


Waking up: documentary of a waterplant that never was

Close-up video of a boggy stretch of rivers-edge on screen, while an educated sounding voice speaks over: "Now observe these pale plump segments among the dark leaves and tendrils - it is the symbiote "Waterspek", which provides nutrients that allow the "Vark Op Zee" to thrive among the reeds above the waterline, whereas at and below water level both plants - Vark Op Zee and Waterspek - exist entirely separately. In the past, it was thought that Waterspek, Vark Op Zee above the water, and Vark Op Zee below the water were in fact THREE different plants. Waterspek was known from Linnaeus, but Vark Op Zee was thought to have come in bilge water sometime after the war - it wasn't till the sixties that this invasive weed was fully studied. The collaboration of these two completely different species is a remarkable example of recent natural adaptation, truly remarkable"

Hmmmph! What's truly remarkable is that there are NO such plants, but there should be.

Vark Op Zee means 'pig at sea'. Waterspek, naturally, translates as 'water bacon'.


Why is there green treif in my dreams?
