But I was thinking of Denmark, a Kestrel, and Lavender.

That really depends on your perspective... If you'd ask me, Deutschland would be the first that comes to mind Smile

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I take it you enjoy pouring water on a drowning woman.

Well at least the number 9 is still special. 9 and 3 are the only numbers whose multiples all equal the same. Plus 9 + any nmber (except 0) equals that number.

No, it's from a song that was out back in the seventies.

I was thinking of tangerine cats in the Dominican Republic.

But that is the pattern with multiplication by 9, all the digits must add up to 9.

Another cool thing about 9: if you're summing numbers and make a transposition error (e.g. enter 1472 when it should have been 1742), the error in the sum will be divisible by 9.
