1 + 1 = 10 (in base 2, or binary)

1 * 1 = 1 (in base 19)

Curiously, 10 * 10 = 100 in both base 10 and base 2.

And also in base 46

0.999...<> 1 in base 46. Perhaps that was what all the fuss was about.

Good one But 0.111... == 1 in base 2.

My posts were for the numerically challenged - to confuse them even more with obvious principles disguised as random facts.

A year can have up to three Friday the 13ths: February, March, and November. But that's only for non-leap years. Leap years can't have more than two.

It's not possible for a year (leap, or non-leap) to not have a Friday the 13th.

Companion Fact:

There are ONLY 14 Possible Configurations of The Gregorian Calendar ...

One for Each Day of The Week 1^st January Falls, Plus One Leap Year Version, Each!!!

From StraightDope:
Not needing to store liquid wastes, birds lack a bladder. Instead urine passes from the ureters into the cloaca, a common chamber for the passage of digestive and urinary wastes, as well as for reproductive products. A bird dropping usually contains both white uric acid crystals, and a concentrated mass of digestive wastes such as insect cuticle or seeds.
