Interesting tidbit -- thanks! A couple of other interesting items: First, perhaps folks should remember the historical gravitas surrounding this date 699 years ago in 1307: Hundreds of Knights Templar in France are simultaneously arrested by agents of Phillip the Fair, to be later tortured into "admitting" heresy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar Also, for the first time ever, the total number of advertized prefixes in the Weekly Routing Table Report exceeded 200k: http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/msg02658.html Let's be careful out there! :-) - ferg -- Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi> wrote: "AACHEN: This Friday could be a day of horror for superstitious people who dread the number 13, says a German professor: not only will the date be Friday the 13th, but all the digits in the numeric notation of the date add up to 13 as well. Whichever way round the date is written - 13-10-2006 or 2006-10-13 - the total comes out to 13, a number regarded as unlucky by people in the west who believe in divination by numerology."
