Word For The Day, Wednesday, 12-12-12 -- numerology
;
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
numerology [noo-muh-rol-uh-jee]
hear it pronounced
noun:
the study of numbers, such as the figures in a birth date, and of their supposed influence on human affairs
Etymology: Origin: 1911, "study of the occult meaning of numbers," a hybrid from L. numerus "number" + Gk. -logia, from logos "one who speaks (of a certain topic)." A correct formation would be arithmology, from Gk. arithmos "number."

adj
numer'ologist
n
Not to be confused with number theory.
Numerology is any study of the purported divine, mystical or other special relationship between a number and some coinciding observed (or perceived) events. It has many systems and traditions and beliefs. Numerology and numerological divination by systems such as isopsephy were popular among early mathematicians, such as Pythagoras, but are no longer considered part of mathematics and are regarded as pseudomathematics or pseudoscience by modern scientists
Today, numerology is often associated with the paranormal, alongside astrology and similar divinatory art.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
Here is my example with WFTD.
Since todays date is 12-12-12, and with the similar 12-21-12 Mayan End of Days approaching rapidly, those who believe in numerology have told us that it is folly to worry about the fiscal cliff or the deficits that are mounting up at an exponential level. Dont Worry. Be Happy. Vote for Obama. If the world doesnt end, hell take care of us.

Get that homework in before the world comes to an end.

Here's something numerological - Today is Aaron Rodgers Day in the state of Wisconsin.
It's also National Sound Check Day (1-2 1-2 1-2).

Don't ask me. I was too busy reading the bumps on my head and some tea leaves.

Let’s face it; Carl Sagan would never have gotten anywhere if he had been crowing about “dozens and dozens” of galaxies out there.

“Billions and billions” has a much nicer ring to it. Just ask Obama.
