I have made 80 posts so far. This is my 81st. So what’s so special about 81? A lot, actually.
81 (eighty-one) is the natural number following 80 and preceding 82.
- 81 is the square of 9
- It is the fourth power of 3.
- It is a tribonacci number.
- It is the year 81AD, 81BC or 1981.
- It is the atomic number of thallium.
- It is a short film by Stephen Burke.
- It is the international code for Japan for telephone calls.
- It is 1 of 2 ISBN identifiers for books in India
- It is the number of provinces in Turkey.
- In China, 81 always reminds people People’s Liberation Army as it was founded on August 1st.
But why in the world am I saying all this?
Why in the world am I reminding you of what 81 could stand for?
There’s a reason alright. This is the lesson, and I hope you remember this: Do not ever ever ever copy information from Wikipedia directly and then use it in a speech without citing it!
