Random Questions - What I'd like to know is ......?

@ Khitajrah, well, could be. Stranger things have happened. When you think about it, maybe that study was actually driven by the preconception that adversity and mutual hardship, and the discussion of it, brings people together, as we all know from moaning about the weather, work and the like. Might be onto something there.

 

And yes, it was Focus for me too.

 

@ Michael, there was an appropriate website at misanthrope.com, but it seems to have been bought over or something as it is currently under construction.

Not Greek. Arabic.

 

And it would appear that the angle thing is wrong too.

 

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals

 

One popular example of such myths claims that the original forms of these symbols indicated their value through the quantity of angles they contained.
