On categories of things.
Anyway. Right now I'm sick of all this categorizing of things that cannot be categorized. You know what is much nicer? Numbers! And
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
...yes, these are all real mathematical concepts of the form "the category of ---- numbers". You can look them up if you don't believe me! Or you can just go by the closest meaning you know in standard English. ;)

Nope, you left one out, I need a text box.
(Really. If numbers are that complicated, do the rest of us have any hope?)

Also, it is HILARIOUS, some of the names on that list. I had no idea numbers could be frugal, for instance, or narcissistic, or illegal....

but really I have no idea what to pick.. wait there are VAMPIRE numbers? O_o
no subject
...I think I first encountered vampire numbers in an SGA fanfic actually, although I was a Clifford A. Pickover fan way back.

Also 8 is the best number. Because it is evenly divisible both mathematically and visually. It's like the most even of the even numbers.
no subject
8 is the BEST number EVER and that is why.
no subject
And I like 22 better than 8. :P

I... don't know what all of these things mean. (Vampire? Really? Vampire?) and others I only know in terms of non-numbery things (e.g. amenable groups, which is a horrible pun now codified in terminology - amenable groups are ones that admit a mean). But. Isn't mathematical terminology fun? :D
ETA: You forgot taxicab!
no subject
....I must have skipped over taxicab number assuming it couldn't possibly really refer to a math concept. O.o Oh, jargon. That pun is terrible.
...I get the impression vampire numbers are mostly a curiosity with no particular use.
