Cheap Necklace!

Posted by atari2600land, in 47 sightings 31 March 2013 · 115 views

47 has been in a lot of places recently. For example, a postal worker guy in a commercial said he worked for 47 different companies. Or the big one: Due to a typo, in a Macy's catalog, you can get a necklace worth $1500 for just $47. Right now at Boston Logan Airport, the temperature is 47. I know since I'm watching the Weatherscan chann...


Super Bowl 47

Posted by atari2600land, in 47 sightings 03 February 2013 · 111 views

It's been a while since I've done a 47 sightings blog entry. 47 people were in that bus that crashed in Pendleton. Conservatives outnumber Liberals in 47 out of 50 states. But the big 47 event is, you guessed it, the 47th Super Bowl. It would be cool if one team scored 47 points. The '49ers should be called the '47ers, but those lazy miner...

OK, since yesterday marked 47 more days to go until the end of the year, I've decided to have a 47 sighting blog entry. Well, about a week ago, my hometown paper reported that there have been 47 people dying so far in the state of Oregon due to traffic fatalities this year. Making the rounds on Google News, we find that smartphone sales as well as Pet...

With 47 days until the election, Romney's "47% remark" was a big topic of debate. Now there's only about 40 some odd days. Actually, come Monday, it will be early next month! What's even more interesting is Romney and Obama haven't even had their first debate yet! Anyway, was working on Super Giuseppe! some more. Damn...


47 in the news

Posted by atari2600land, in 47 sightings 06 September 2012 · 128 views

Hey gang. I'm convinced Mitt Romney likes the number 47. In searching for 47 in the news, most of the Presidential polls have Romney at 47%, with Obama at 43-44%, though in Fla. that's a bad thing for Romney, as Obama has 48%. I guess that just goes to show you how equal the US political parties are split up. Now I don't want to go into politics...

Hey gang, get a load of today's Grand Avenue comic strip. Teachers, get tip #47 on how to keep your class's attention during the final weeks of school. Also, Marion's Carpets, a local carpet company, is celebrating their 47th year in business. Carpet Carl announced in an ad that some carpets are 47 cents per square foot. The normal low...

Hey gang, saw 47 in the news a lot recently. There was a feast in Mexico for Children's Day that sickened a couple hundred of people. 47 kids remain hospitalized. And guess how many wins the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder got this year. That's right: 47. There was even a stock on the NYSE that had a value of 47.47 a few days ago. Someone on AA (I...

The presidential campaign is heating up. There was a poll I saw that had Mitt Romney having 47% of the votes, more than Obama who had 45%. That's the only 47 I've noticed lately. There seems to be a lack of 47s around. Got a loose Wipeout 64 at a store for only $5. This from the store that overprices stuff. Found an N64, plugged it in and works...


47 sightings #4

The number 47 has been everywhere the last few days. From the local gas prices rising 47 cents to Ron Paul having 47 delegates in the Republican race. I wonder why this is. Apparently the news channel I have has the same affixation I do! I even saw some local report about gas prices being $3.47 or something (I really wasn't paying too close...


47 sighting #3

Hi, I was at the post office and was waiting in line and some employee had some boxes and was helping some guy and he told the guy that, I wasn't listening too closely, the postage for the boxes he tried to mail was off by 47 cents. It is amazing how many times one can hear or see the number 47 if you just look or listen for it. Anyway, I mailed two...
