Being that this is my ninth blogging entry thing, I thought it would be fitting to comment on the number nine... How many times was Ferris absent in the past semester? Nine times! Nine times?... Nine times. Or, how about the song that begins "number nine, number nine, number nine..." I just recently listened to Revolution 9 for the first time, backwards. The last thirty seconds or so hint at what could have been an amazing Beatles song that as far as I know was never made, listen closely. Of course nine upside down is six, and six upside down is nine and so on and so forth, it's like a "magical" number or something... and get this, if you multiply nine by any other whole number, that sum will be divisible by nine... every time, seriously. Try it, you'll see.

let's see... take a 63... read it in reverse and it's a 36 - now don't feel sad, all we do is add... add the 63 to the 36 and find, that's a 99, now you're doing fine, that's a palindrome... oops, I guess that has nothing to do with what you were saying.
i wore nine pears of underwear, this month!
11 is cool, too. And it's a palindrome all by itself.
Shouldn't the word for palindrome be itself a palindrome? What better way to describe something than with an example? Personally I think they should have callled it a xoxox, that way backwards, forwards, upside down, whatever it would always be the same. Also, 11 is not in the same category as 9, and it never will be.
Hey Edwardo,
