Did you get a ticket kat?
It probably won't go far but that's not because it's not good. There just aren't very many chat room posters anymore. Sad

Hummingbirds fly south for the winter... All the way to South America... Since they are so small and travel such great distances they must stop to feed frequently. In the spring for their Northern migration they can accomplish this feat by themselves but in the fall, after feeding all summer, they must hitchhike on the backs of geese flying south.

My chest hairs sometimes poke through the fabric of my shirts.
Sometimes I freak out about why I am me and not someone else.
People once thought certain animals were actually produced from various materials -because they were unseen except when those materials were present.
I haven't been on a date in longer than some forum posters here have been alive -because I don't want to get really involved with someone and not have the time or resources for a relationship -not to mention I'm kinda weird, and finding a good match is not easy.

Binary numbers and arithmetic let you represent any amount you want using just two digits: 0 and 1. Here are some examples:
Decimal 1 is binary 0001
Decimal 3 is binary 0011
Decimal 6 is binary 0110
Decimal 9 is binary 1001

Don't forget Octal (base 8) in computing!
Interestingly, base-10 is not universal across human societies. The Mayans were known to use a base 20-system, and the Babylonians developed a system using sets of 60. Base-8 and base-16 (the hexadecimal system) have also been used, mostly for computational reasons (quarters and eighths are simplified).
Some believe we should adopt a base 12 system....
Also called the duodecimal system, the "dozenal" system was initially popularized in the 17th century when mathematicians began to recognize the limitations of base-10.
Later, during the 1930s, F. Emerson Andrews published a book, New Numbers: How Acceptance of a Duodecimal Base Would Simplify Mathematics, in which he cogently argued for the change. He noticed that, due to the myriad occurrences of 12 in many traditional units of weight and measures, many of the advantages claimed for the metric system could also be adopted by the dozenal system.
Indeed, examples of base-12 systems abound. A carpenter's ruler has 12 subdivisions, grocers deal in dozens and grosses (12 dozen equals a gross), pharmacists and jewelers use the 12 ounce pound, and minters divide shillings into 12 pence. Even our timing and dating system depends on it; there are 12 months in the year, and our day is measured in 2 sets of 12. Additionally, in geometry, a circle is replete with subsets and supersets of 12 — what's measured in degrees (a 360 degree circle consists of 30 sets of 12).
It's also obvious that someone in our history was thinking along these lines. It's the largest number with a single-morpheme name in English (i.e. the word "twelve"). After that, we hit thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and so on — derivatives of three, four and five. Clearly, it was natural to think in terms of dozens.
Three decades after Andrews's book, the brilliant mathematician A. C. Aitken made a similar case. Writing in The Listen in 1962, he noted:
The duodecimal tables are easy to master, easier than the decimal ones; and in elementary teaching they would be so much more interesting, since young children would find more fascinating things to do with twelve rods or blocks than with ten. Anyone having these tables at command will do these calculations more than one-and-a-half times as fast in the duodecimal scale as in the decimal. This is my experience; I am certain that even more so it would be the experience of others.
