god is a number

The above rather catchy title has grabbed my interest now a couple of times. It is a menu pick on the website of the guy that wrote FireFTP, the file transfer add-on for Firefox. You are invited to visit the page it corresponds to by clicking http://www.nightlight.ws/01101101. This is the kind of site you want to come back to every so often. He makes no claim of course to the complete accuracy of these numbers but it does give you pause when you think about them in general. The quote that appears in the lower right hand corner of the screen is pretty wild too ... namely ...

this is something that happens
and you are something rare
and one day these numbers will go to zero
and hey you with the pretty face,
welcome to the human race!
