I gave up Catholicism for Lent nearly 20 years ago and managed to stay off it ever since.

Would you not even let yourself have a bit of an aul pray on Paddys day?!?

Just a phase you're going through, my son!

One night a burglar is trying to break into a house. He's sneaking across the lawn when he hears a voice - "Jesus is watching you!" He jumps, turns around, but he doesn't see anything. So he starts creeping across the lawn again. "Jesus is watching you!" He hears it again. So now the burglar is really looking around, and he sees a parrot in a cage by the side of the house. He says to the parrot, "Did you say that?" The parrot answers "Yes I did." So the burglar asks, "What's your name?" The parrot says "Clarence." The burglar says "What kind of stupid idiot would name his parrot Clarence?" The parrot laughs and says, "The same stupid idiot that named his Rottweiler 'Jesus' "

Maybe if it's injury time in Twickenham and we need an O'Geara drop-goal to beat England by a point.

I've heard about stuff like this before. Just what exactly are they trying to achieve by doing this?

^Some constants are totally multiples of ten. You just have to get creative with the units that's all:)

Funny how even when just tooling around with pointless numbers Benford's Law still applies.

Funny, but not unexpected, since scale invariance -- a property that arbitrary units possess -- implies Bendord's Law

I know it's a logical (and should be an obvious) given and all but it still put a little smile on my face when I notice it.

Some are more obvious than others. The exponentials I can get. The physical constants obeying however is freaky and I would love to know the driving link.

So if anyone knows of the unifying equation that links the physical constants please let a Dr S. Hawking know as he's been struggling for a few decades and could use the hint:)

The impact is lessening somewhat when it is explained, but as it is you I will give it a go.

You may not have realised it, but I am an atheist. Ireland are playing England, in Twickenham, in the last game on the Six Nations on St Patrick's day. I am lucky to be the recipient of some corporate hospitality for this event. So, I can safely say that on the 17th of March there will be at least one atheist in Twickenham.

Not sure of the equation but answer is 42

Ah, and there was me thinking that the Ireland fans would simultaneously lose faith in god after receiving the wooden spoon!
