For some reason my dad keeps thinking we did the live chat on Zoom. I had to explain that since we're supposed to be mostly anonymous and can't share personal information, faces would be personal info cause face recognition, and we can't share that, so thus no zoom. I also did share that we can share anything about ourselves that is appropriate and is not personal info.

I also missed it. Ugh.
@Admins, maybe every year for the CB's birthday we can do a live chat? Only 365 days until the next one then...
Yes, that sounds like a good idea!

At least you marked your calendar...I completely forgot.

I had no idea when the CB's birthday was, just that it was in June...at least we now know for next year. *commiserates with all the CBers who missed the live chat*

@Tealeaf, you asked which book it was that talked about how people perceive odd and even numbers, so here's the title: More Numbers Every Day: How Data, Stats, and Figures Control Our Lives and How to Set Ourselves Free, by Micael Dahlen. It's super interesting; it's all about how numbers have shaped us in ways you might never have thought of, how they naturally influence humans' thinking, and how to Beware of the Influences that statistics and other numerical facts can have on you. It's full of amazing facts like the odd-even number thing (btw, I realized too late that I had remembered wrong; it's actually that everyone sees odd numbers as masculine and sharp, and even numbers as feminine and soft. Evidently everyone thinks odd numbers are warm as well, though - yay! I discovered a new fact! :) ) Anyway, I'd definitely recommend it; it's light and fun to read, while being really stimulating and thought-provoking.
