-FUPPETS- FOR READERS XXVIII



28. The number 28 is divisible by 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, and 28. 6 factors. This is pointless information, but it is nice to remember grade school mathematics. It is also very nice to give your neural net a repose from the barrage of mindless claptrap that it is exposed to on a daily basis. What can aid you in this escape is to spend some time absorbing cohesive, linear inputs, in the form of sequential letters arranged in symbolic patterns. This will help your mind clear away the clutter and may also inspire and educate. All good things to strive for, and -FUPPETS- highly recommends you do so. Let's get it on.
