"The power of numbers?" What are you talking about?
While we find try
to find out how old the planet is.
IIRC, the current estimates are somewhere around 4.6 billion years.
The power of 1 has been
a news maker,
"the power of 1?" Huh?

Loosewire, your recent posts have been so inscrutable as to be completely devoid of meaning, IMO.

Sure, I could have passed over your post without comment, but I expect senior members on this forum to post thoughts that are comprehensible. If not, my natural tendency is to ask for clarification, which I did. You should note that I said nothing to degrade you, but rather I questioned what you said. There is a difference.

You have mentioned Old English several times in a number of posts. In case you haven't ever seen any, here is an example from the beginning of Beowulf:
HWÆT, WE GAR-DEna in geardagum,
þeodcyninga þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon!
oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorlas, syððanærest wearð
feasceaft funden; he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum weorðmyndum þah,
oð þæt him æghwylc ymbsittendra
ofer hronrade hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan; þæt wæs god cyning!
Ðæm eafera wæs æfter cenned
geong in geardum, þone God sende
folce to frofre; fyrenðearfe ongeat,
þe hie ær drugon aldorlease
lange hwile; him þæs Liffrea,
wuldres Wealdend woroldare forgeaf,
Beowulf wæs breme --- blæd wide sprang---
Scyldes eafera Scedelandum in.
Swa sceal geong guma gode gewyrcean,
fromum feohgiftumon fæder bearme,
I'm pretty familiar with Southern humor, having read Joel Chandler Harris's Uncle Remus tales years ago, and having read pretty much all of what Mark Twain wrote, but I don't recall seeing any Old English in their writing.

Maybe you were referring to Middle English. Here's an example from the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales:
Whan that Aprill with his shoures sote
the droghte of Marche hath perced to the rote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
I'm still interested in finding out what you meant by "power of numbers," "power of 1," and "new math."
