What's In A Number?

As I logged into my blog today, I noticed my hit counter had just hit 800. Wow, this site has been viewed 800 times in a little under 6 months! That's about as cool as my apparent Australian following.

This brought to mind a Calvin and Hobbes strip that I had read a long time ago. It's taken from the 1996 collection titled "It's A Magical World", and talks about Calvin's obsession with chewing gum.


Calvin (while chewing gum): I need to get a heart rate monitor.


Hobbes: What for?


Calvin: To make sure I'm chewing at my aerobic threshold! Everyday I want to see that I'm chewing more gum faster, harder and longer!


Hobbes: What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do?


Calvin: If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun.


Hobbes: .... Science to the spirit's rescue once again.



How true.


Ooh I wonder when I'll hit 1000!
