NOTES FROM LIFE, ETC.

  1. One of the managers at the store gave me a ∅[1]10 gift card for Starbucks today.
  2. One of my other co-workers gave me a Blu-Ray and DVD set of A Christmas Story[2] after I had told her the previous day that I hadn’t seen it (and had said that Die Hard was properly considered a Christmas movie). I told her that I felt guilty because I hadn’t gotten her anything, and she said that’s OK.
  3. I walked 26,506 steps today.

NOTES

  1. “∅” = Federal Reserve Note — Infogalactic / Wikipedia.

    In mathematics, the symbol is used to denote the empty set, in other words, a set with no elements, a set with nothing in it.

    Money used to be backed by some sort of commodity — gold or silver being the most common commodities.

    So what exactly is backing the Federal Reserve Note?

    I swear, Federal Reserve Notes (“FRNs”) should have printed upon each and every one of them the following:

    REDEEMABLE UPON GOVERNMENT DEMAND FROM YOUR LIFE, LIBERTY, AND PROPERTY

  2. A Christmas StoryInfogalactic / Wikipedia
