I am Number.  I was asked by people in this place to "get a name," so I obtusely chose to call myself number.  I suspect there was some background pathological demand avoidance going on with the naming.........although I do also often feel more numb the older I get.  Go figure....am I a whole, imaginary, negative, tiny, infinitesimal, or random?!  Answers on a postcard - or via carrier pigeon - only.

I am reminded of Patrick Mcgoohan in "The Prisoner" (1960's TV). He was known by his captors as 'Number Six' and used to protest loudy...... " I AM NOT A NUMBER ! ".

Nice.  Excellent trivia.  I guess if I am to be held captive one day, I will be able to sound like a proper little entitled door handle by proclaiming "I am not A number, I AM Number." I guess this wouldn't make such a catchy tag line to a TV show.
