If I was a supersticious man I would say something about this being the 13th entry in this blog, and therefore today's number no doubt heralds great woe and misfortune.

A quick search for this number online gets a load of references to some scientific journal about nitric oxide, a chemical I know nothing about, but is most probably both necessary for my survival and deadly poisonous at the same time. Not to be confused with nitrous oxide, also known as 'laughing gas'.

Not sure what my calculator is trying to tell me here, I think its just revelling in randomness after recent recurring nightmares of nines. As truly meaningless as a number could be, or so it seems. I sometimes wonder if all these numbers are just pieces in a larger puzzle, that they all slot together to form some monumental truth. Or perhaps it is part of creative endeavour on my calculator's part.

Perhaps my calculator is studying me, and these numbers represent a daily blog if its own, documenting my unfathomable existance in the only terms it is familiar with.

Am I a man dreaming of being a calculator, or a calculator dreaming of being a man...?
