State Coin Collection '25 state quarter coins in his collection so far' Close: What I meant is that each quarter is worth 25 cents. E's Noir Story 'I didn't get the reference to 26, but it was a great read anyway, It was wonderful, especially when you realize that he did it in 26 sentences. Yes, I counted. [:)] thus my...' 27 seconds of applause 'For Emperor's short story - I wanna read the ending' Days in February '28, usually' I forgot about leap years. Oops. Bones in Skull '30' According to Wikipedia there are 29 bones in the human skull. Issue a press release Press releases ofen end with "- 30-". That's a journalistic convention meaning "end of copy." It dates, I believe, back to the old days, when reporters filed by wire and newspapers paid by the word. Saying "30" was cheaper than spelling out "end of copy." Not sure why they used to number 30. Sometimes, the "- 30 -" is replaced with "###", which I put in my post as a way-too-obscure hint.
