XXVI

Lets talk 26

26 is…

  • The only single number between a square (25 = 52) and a cube (27 = 33).
  • The number of sides in a rhombicuboctahedron.
  • The atomic number of iron
  • The number of spacetime dimensions in bosonic string theory.
  • A 2003 novel by Leo McKay, Jr..
  • The number of miles in a marathon rounded down (26 miles and 385 yards).
  • Often the number of episodes in a television program each year; this allows one new show per week for half the year, and one rerun per week for the rest of the year.
  • The age at which males can no longer be drafted in the United States

and last but not least a number that I shall carry as my age for a year from today.
