50 Things You Never Knew about the Number ONE
Why Number 1?
In the beginning was the Number 1.
This was followed, in short order, by the numbers 2, 3, and 4. Then came 6. It was premature and had to go back to where it came from in order for the number 5 to take it's place.
The story of Numbers is a long and fascinating one, and I highly recommend it to anyone who relates more to digits then they do to, say, people.
