Take Five

Look out planet...I'm baaaaack! With some much needed rest, a weekend in which the sun was out more than the clouds, and for some strange reason the Sesame Street theme song running through my head I offer you the following:



Today's post is brought to you by the number five:



It's the number of fingers or toes I have on the end of each limb.


It's half of ten.


The name of Speed Racer's car was the Mach 5


It rhymes with many other words: hive, Clive, alive, drive, etc.


A pentagon has five sides.


When followed by o'clock, it signals the end of a working day for many businesses.


When viewed upside down and through a mirror, it looks much like the number two.


When Micheal Jackson was still black, he sang with the Jackson Five.


It's how many cents a nickle is worth.


The fifth planet in our solar system is Jupiter.


There are five oceans in the world.


It's represented by a V in Roman numerals.

When you combine it with the word "high", you get the universal sign meaning "great job".

I like this game!

Ron- "wocka, wocka, wocka" It was a nice break, but it's also nice to be back.

Oswegan- I'm begining to have more faith that spring might actually happen. Agreed on the eclipse.

Zathyn- "la la la...la la la...la la la" It's catchy isn't it?

Matt- I wonder what a numerologist would do with something like this.

Leighann- Somehow I don't think you're going to get any argument about your number five!

Odat- Like the perverbial tack.

Mel- I'm sure himself will be dooley impressed. Have fun and blame away.
