All the stuff about: RANDOM BITS AND BOBS
Thanks again to Gareth and his team at Stikit.co.uk for fitting our graphics for us!
So we decided it would be a good idea to ‘upgrade’ our old rusty sump to something a bit more…metallic.
Thank you to all those who have donated so far. We’ve just broken the £1000 mark if you include gift aid! If you’re yet to donate or want to check our progress – click here.
This is such an important landmark for a number of reasons:
- We will be driving 13 x 1000 miles to Ulaanbaatar!
- 1000 is binary for the number 8 which is a lucky number meaning to generate wealth in chinese culture – and Mongolia, our destination, is RIGHT BESIDE CHINA!
- Тысяча is a famous 3 player Russion card game that translates as 1000, and we are travelling through Russia!
- Mongolia begins with the letter M and as a Roman Numeral, M means 1000!
- In the Holocene calendar the year 1000 is 11000 which when all the individual digits are added together = 2, which is the number of people in our team!
- Mathematically, 1000! (factorial) has 2625 numbers in it, with 248 zeros at the end of it – if you add up the individual digits of 2625 and subtract from the digits of 248 summed togeather, you get 1, which when multiplied by 1000 equals 1000. Weird huh?
- If you take the number 1000 you can draw a smiley face with the middle two zero’s as eyes, the one as a nose, and the remaining zero as a mouth!
Fascinating stuff.
During the trip we are going to be driving. And then we may stop, before doing some more driving. Followed quickly by some more driving. With a bit more driving on the side. Did I mention we’ll be driving?
To keep us sane during the long hours – SEND US MUSIC. Instructions:
This is the mockup…we’ll shortly be ordering the graphics so look out for this handsome punto strutting around your streets. Beautiful.
