Eleven is both odd and prime and it is not disparaging to observe that being prime means it is most likely odd as two is the only even prime. It isn't two, but its sum of digits is. It is a twin prime with thirteen. Eleven is also a sexy prime--think five and seventeen. How special is that?
Well Spinal Tap showed us knobs that go up to eleven and we all know how special that is. That it is ten percent more than ten only sounds recursive.
Eleven is the number of Obama's magic, mass-killer bullet. That just-one-too-many cartridge that transforms a gun from self-defense to a weapon of mass destruction. That it is just common sense should in no way detract from the magic.
Lately we have been getting it from all sides about eleven million people.
First it is the number of illegal aliens in the United States. What makes this magic is there have always been eleven million illegals and there always will be. This number has not changed in decades having weathered the vicissitudes of amnesty and lax enforcement without change. It is a Montezuma's Revenge that defies logic and physics. If Trump deports all illegal aliens there will still be eleven million illegals. Get used to it.
Then there is the ObamaCare eleven million who receive health insurance with premiums ponied up by their fellow taxpayers. We are all to wring our hands over the prospect of these eleven million losing their perq should ObamaCare be forced to address hardships foisted on the remaining three hundred million.
Even George Will invokes the magic of eleven million. In a recent op-ed he speaks to government bloat reporting eleven million as the number of employees in the tax-exempt or independent sector funded by the federal government.
Here in DeKalb eleven is a race. No. Really. Check out the following official document kept by DeKalb County Schools in records associated with one beachhead of the PC tsunami created by the election day earthquake of Trump.
Eleven is magic. Simply magic. So next time you're buying those lotto tickets don't get ten quick picks. Get eleven.
