Roman Numeral One Tale: "The 600"

"The numbers in the 600's are quite envious. For example, it so happened one afternoon I overheard
a discussion between 609, 665 and 637. The subject was, as usual, 616.

"He is so spoiled!" -609 said angrily, who could not forgive 616 because he always
followed him.

"He's hateful!" -637 almost screamed, who was jealous of 616 because he was always
in front of him.

"Intolerable!" -argued 665, who found the proportion of 616 hard to tolerate.

"We must get rid of him!" -brayed the 687, who could not accept the fact that 616
added up to the mysterious "13" when you added up his digits.

They conspired these numbers 600's against the 616 (the rest of the 600's were too busy holding
their place in the tale of the sea in order to participate in this tale), and they took the number 616
prisoner and banished him to the land of the 700 numbers.

That is why when the sea counts sea-horses in order to get to sleep, when it arrives at 615 it
becomes confused and cannot continue. Therefore it goes quickly to sleep.

And the number 616? He was detected almost immediately by the repressive forces of the 700's. He
was accused of being a destabilizing and incompatible force and condemned to dissolve 88 times
until reaching his 7 of origin.

Tan, tan" [The End].

This is a really cool page for astro photography.
