No, it wasn't the numbers, it was the guy who was checking the links. So what does that say, that I'm not infallible? But still the connection was there and, most importantly, "verifiable."Mercutio said:
So your numbers cannot tell the difference between a character and a starship. Sounds pretty darned accurate to me!

As far as the image is concerned, I'm sure somebody could reduce it for you. I would, except I don't have my graphics software installed at this time. Ask Yahweh.

Iacchus said:Yes, this what my friend Mike told me, and I have noticed it in at least half a dozen of the original episodes.
What I'm illustrating is how the numbers 5, 33 and 47 are all "harmonically" the same in the base fourteen system. Follow this link if you would like to read up on it ... http://www.dionysus.org/x0401.htmlIacchus[/i] [b] Hey said:
Silliness.
i.e.
Where do the 2 and or 3 come from? What if we use 4 and 5 for example.
Nope, I'm afraid it doesn't work, at least in the sense that I'm not accustomted to working with it.14 x 4 + "5" = 61 and 14 x 5 + "5" = 75.
Or let us your numbers but change the functions used.
... i.e., 14 - 2 X "5" = 60 and 14 - 3 X "5" = 55
One can simply manipulate numbers to get what ever they seek.

Iacchus said:What do you think I'm letting you off the hook here? It was not missing digits, it was built that way, in which case it will always read 479. In other words you have a one in a thousand chance of it coming up that way which, are not good betting odds ... don't you think?

Did you bother to read the other posts from the beginning of the page as I asked? The Spiritual Marriage - 567 ... Not that it really matters of course I'm sure.RussDill said:
The point is, how many times have you bought something, and then looked at a number, like your trip odometer, your odometer, the temperature, your watch, the address, you ID badge, the license plate, the patent # on the spork, the day of the year, the year, the upc on your underwear, anything, numbers are everywhere. These coincidences are bound to happen by chance, if they didn't, that would be the miracle.
What else would you call it then, since it is base fourteen derived?RussDill said:
please, please, please stop using the phrase "base 14" to describe anything that 14 is added to multiplied by, squared by, derived from, etc, etc, etc. Everyone out there that has a clue about math and numbers has a strong desire to smack you upside the head every time you do.

Pick another phrase besides "base fourteen"

The USS Mercutio, a Star Trek sim in the SLA
USS Mercutio : A Star Trek sim set on an Excelsior class vessel
Actually it looks like a new movie coming out or something? Or, maybe it's just an Internet game?
Wait...you mean, they weren't lurking here and impressed enough by what they saw that they built a sim just to honor me?davidhorman said:
Right, so not a character like you said. It's not even official Star Trek. It's just some Trekkies who happen to have called their simulated starship Mercutio. Not a big leap considering most people's favourite Starfleet captain was a big Shakespeare fan.
