While we are talking about numbers, we cannot miss 42. That's what a Quora user Tanvangi Tiwari said about it:
"Apart from it being the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything, it also has the following properties:
•All columns, rows, and diagonals of a 3x3x3 magic cube sum to 42.
•It is a pronic number, the second sphenic number, a catalan number, a Harshad number, and a (2,6)-perfect number.
•Incidentally, the angle for which the rainbow appears when rounded to the nearest whole number is 42.
•The gravity train method of transportation lasts exactly 42 minutes in frictionless tunnels.
•It is a repdigit in base 4 (2222).
•42, in the base of 13 = 6*9, in the base of 10.
•42 = 101010 in binary (making it the reason why Ubuntu chose 10/10/2010 as the release date for its version 10.10).
•In the TIFF image file format, it is the second 16-bit word of every file.
For non mathematical magic,
•First book to be printed, Gutenberg's Bible, had 42 lines per page.
•In the Harry Potter series, Harry discovers he is a wizard on page 42.
•Cricket has 42 laws :)
•According to the Gospel of Matthew, in the bible, there are 42 generations in the Genealogy of Jesus.
•Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has exactly 42 illustrations.
I can keep going on, but I guess you get the point. :)"

Long time, no see!
Hey. We are back after a small holiday. Frankly speaking, we understand that sometimes there are too much idioms, so we decided that this week will be a special one. It's the week of food!
...however, there are some expressions to which we could not give a miss. Nevertheless, we promise more fun and increadible stuff in the near future!

Hey! Have you ever planned to attack someone with food? Even if you haven't, now we will give you an ultimate weapon. John Burgess from Quora.com said the following about it:
"Durian, without a doubt.
My first volley would be a barrage of Durian fruits at the far end of ripeness. The chemical assault might end things right there by causing vomiting which, as we know, has an infectious effect in groups. A disabled troop is unable to fight.
My second volley would be with Durian fruits as the near end of ripeness. These hard, spiky fruits would draw blood, break bones, and demoralize the still retching enemy.
The conquerors, however, will have to be supplied with gas masks and protective clothing in order to occupy enemy territory now covered in Durian slime and vomit.
BTW: I really do like Durian!"

Good morning! The week of food is continued by this playlist. It's a real treasure.
