I dunno, Amos. There is a Power in numbers, a Power to foretell things. Like take the number 042 and the number 1945. Together they become the Julian date of my birthday, the single most important day in the entire history of the Universe: the 42nd day of the 1,945th year of the current era.
This was predicted, of course, by prophets and other folks who predict things. Like my mother and her obstetrician. Isaiah. Jeremiah. Nostredamus. Moses. The Buddha. Job. Joanna Southcott. Nimrod Hughes. Jemima Wilkinson. Frederick Barbarossa. Getafix. The Delphic Oracle. And lots and lots and lots of others all around the world.
Each and every one of them would mutter "The Forty-second of the one thousand, nine hundred, and forty-fifth. HE will come then."
And I did.
