A triangular number.
= 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 <-- who cares

A Fibonacci number.
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21.. <-- ok, that's cool, I'll post something about Fiboncci someday


The total number of spots on a normal die. <-- good to know when stranded on a desert island

Formerly the legal coming-of-age when you received the `key of the door'. <-- now we're talking

A game of table tennis is won by the first player reaching 21 points. <-- I love ping pong

We live in the twenty-first century. <-- another useless one, who made this up, ok my blog's name is Earth to Omar, but I'm not that confused
