10,000 is…

  • The number we mean when we say “a myriad”...
  • The number of neurons to which each neuron in our brain is thought to be connected...
  • The number of square metres that make up a hectare...
  • The number of bird species thought to exist worldwide...
  • The name of a movie so trashy even Thom said “enough!”...
  • Also (almost) the name of the intrigingly titled movie 10,000 Black Men Named George which I have never seen but now really want to...
  • The number of angels referenced in Reveleations in that great work of fiction known as The Bible (actually it’s “Ten thousand times ten thousand…” but when do facts matter when we’re talking about the bible?)...
  • The number of hits on this blog. Shite. Hurrah and thanks to my long-suffering readers who deserve more than listening to me wank on about Mark Hamill.
