What a great combo. A lot of times they give you a "G" and the number "6" or something similarly uncompelling. But the Z-10 duo, damn, that's really strong.
Thanks for this post! A lot of times I forget about the grandeur of the alphabet and the brilliance of numbers. You bring them together on an otherwise dreary day. I applaud you. Dean
Wow, what a great response. I can't disagree with any of you, and thank you for reading. How is everyone doing? Having a good day? How's the weather? We're thinking rain here, Pretty dreary.
Do you have idea what the next letter and number sponsor will be? Could be rolled into your Puzzle Fantastica game in some way. By the way, what's the answer---maybe tell us here and hope none of the other players look before I go rush and write the answer at the PF post?
The letter sponsor has always been a staple of my daily diet, so it's good to see it getting public attention. I never was into the numbers as much, but maybe that's because I'm a literature guy, not a science guy. Ha. There's a theory.
Anyway, it reminded me of Doris Lessing, for almost no reason, so I linked to her in my URL under my name. (So please don't delete this as a junk comment just because of that.
Good for you. Good for you guys. I've been out of the loop on the number-letter sponsorship for so long, I'd forgotten about it. It;s about time someone started keeping tabs on this for the blogosphere. My mom would love this! You guys crack me up.
But hey you my favorite letter is "g" and so boo to you Al Dentay! G would be a great sponsor for the day!! I can't wait for it, but I think they actually used it a few weeks ago. They have to use it again though right? How many sponsors can there be?
Too bad there isn't a letter after Z, like in another meta-class of letters. 'cause looking at that giant "10" makes me think of the decimal system...whose digits, seemingly ironicly so, only consist of 0-9...so the 10 which everyone thinks of when you say "base-10" isn't really a digit in its own system...if you know what I mean in a fuzzy way. Z is the last of the 26 letters but is contained within its own subset of "letters of the english alphabet" (or whatever it is officiall called)...so it's jsut a shame that the sponsor of the day wasn't [squiggly symbol heretofore never have previously existed] and 10...because that would be...like...deep. Or something
See. This is the kind of groping at meaning-making that I was afraid of (no offense, Sue). If 2-yr. olds can indeed blog it would be interesting if 2-yr. olds would also supply their comments. Does anyone ahve some kids out there? Let's transcribe their reactions. It beats making stuff up, just because we can.
I'm reading this and can't tell if its supposed to be some cutesy thing about 2-year-olds or some commentary that blogs are juvenile or if you're serious or what. Either way, if I can't understand what you're doing it isn't good blogging. It's just a stupid waste of time to your readers.
Haha. I thought the point is that blogging is about as good as listening to a two-year-old. Obviously I was being sarcastic earlier, in the other commebnt.
You go look round at bloggers and everyones either yelling at how stupid someone else is or makng everyday comments that aren't sophistcated. I read these because ti fills the time during the day. But I have friends who spend their lives surfing blogs and making a big deal out of how much is out there. That's a load of bs if you ask me. It's all two-year-old stuff.
Personally, my 3-yr old daughter wouldn't even enter this debate -- unless it was sponsored by Dora the Explorer. That's how you know this blog was created by adults. Dora and Diego rule! If it wasn't for Elmo, Sesame Street would be closed.

But when you go to the C. M. source, he's giving us "L" as the letter of the day? What gives? Flaws in research communication?
This is great. "Al Dentay" is right, I would've never thought to pair up Z and 10. Good work Sesame St.

Oh, oops, is this what a blog is for?

Smiles! I love it I love it!!

pammy -- Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the answer to your question is 26. Arthur
Um, am I the only one who doesn't get the Sponsor of the Day? Is it supposed to be as ineffable as the Puzzle Fantastica? I don't get it
It is what you make of it, I guess. I, for one, wish it had been Z and 28. Camaros are always better than Firebirds.

Yeahhhh!! thank Mr. Smarty Smart "A. Martin."
I love Z and I love G! (That's a hint to you Jason!! Mwah!)
