This is my hundreth blog post, boys and girls, and today we're going to celebrate. Do you see all of the decorations and party favors and noise makers and festive hats? They're just waiting for you to try them out. And we can have cake. Oh yes, cake. That's because the number one hundred is an important number. Can you tell me why it's important?
Yes, that's right! It's because we have a base-ten counting system. And do you know why that is?
Right again! It's because we each have ten fingers and ten toes. Except for Zoloff there. He has tentacles that each end in three poison spines. But remember that different is special.
Now, can you think of any other reasons the number one hundred is important? No? Well, are there one hundred days in a year? No, there aren't. One hundred hours in a day? No?
Hhm...
You know, children, I can't think of any, either. I can tell you this, though: if we counted in base three instead of base ten, which we might do if we all had spines like Zoloff, the number one-hundred would only equal nine. In fact, if you count in the right base, the number one-hundred could equal almost anything! I guess the number one hundred isn't very important after all.

Are the poison spines deadly? Are we immune to our own poison? Are we immune to each others'? How many tentacles? Why Zoloff?
I am left with more questions than answers now.

Uhm...wow. I'm thinking that things like this are what REALLY kept you out of some of those schools. ;o) And hey, where's my cake?
