Default 21/Twenty One/XXI

It's not often we really take a look at numbers in general, but I want to share with you a special number. 21. So, why 21? Well let my list tell you the ways..
  • Blackjack (aka 21) - The point of the game is to get or get close to 21 without going over and beat the dealer
  • 21 Gun Salute - ceremonial military honor performed when 21 rounds are fired from a battery of artillery pieces
  • 21 - the number of spots on a standard cubical die (1+2+3+4+5+6)
  • Port 21 - Standard TCP/IP port for FTP connection
  • Pier 21 - (not to be confused w/ the Port) the "Gateway to Canada" for immigration
  • 21....Jump Street. Good ol' Johnny Depp.
  • 21 - NASCAR driver Bill Elliot
  • 21 - The atomic number of Scandium (rare earth mineral)
  • 21st President - Chester A Arthur
  • 21st Amendment - repealed the 18th Amednment (prohibition)
  • 21 - Age to legally drink in the US
  • 21 - Age to legally gamble in the US
  • 21 - a drinking game.... a fun one at that.
  • Twentyone - a TV quiz show in the 50's.... got busted for being rigged. heh.
  • 21, the movie - "They proved the Vegas Blackjack System was beatable...by beating the hell out of it."
  • Centry 21 Exposition - another name for the Seattle World's Fair on April 21, 1962


But, most importantly
  • 21 days until I'm back home.....
