21/Twenty One/XXI

[Lamnidae]

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• 21st Amendment - repealed the 18th Amednment (prohibition)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.....

Last stat was the best. Should have done this two days ago though. Have you seen "The Number 23?" That movie is weird as hell.

13 - The age of girls that Roger Clemens likes to fuck

I agree with both. Good luck man, youre almost there

Stay safe man!

BTW

21 gun salutes are most often 3 volleys from 7 rifles or cannon.

Bill Elliott was never the 21 in Nastycar. NASCAR Team owners own the numbers and the 21 was owned by the Woods Bros Racing Team for whom Bill Elliott occaisoinally drives for in his semi retirement. Bill spent most of his career in the number 9.

On the other hand there have been some other famous 21's. Troy Bayliss & John Hopkins comes to mind...Then you have Ladanian Thompson of the Chargers, Tim Duncan of the Dallas Spurs,

Mig 21s were pretty prolific jet fighter of Soviet Bloc nations for decades.

2 plus 1 is 3, number of the holy trinity.
