The first is written in English from my nephew with five words on it. The 2nd and 3rd are written in Chinese from my sons both have five characters on it. Umm... does this span across cultural boundaries as well?David Chenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05656856927573510943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-77484656156356532182009-05-27T09:47:32.323-07:002009-05-27T09:47:32.323-07:00Oops, now this comment is the fifth.Oops, now this comment is the fifth.e-Older Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02094737800828202693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-1192934147036220882009-05-27T09:41:46.106-07:002009-05-27T09:41:46.106-07:00The article by Dee Finney found at:

I am sure there is nothing to worry about ;-) the number 5 or 2(2^1)+1(since it is a Fermat Prime), has always had a special significance to me also.
