The crudest curriculum vitae crows and flaps its wings in a style peculiar to the undersigner. I doubt whether you can even give your telephone number without giving something of yourself.
- Nabokov's Nikolai Gogol

Actually it's true about telephone numbers. I remember scanning through lists of available cell phone numbers just to find the ideal one [1) doesn't end with a 4, which sounds like Death in cantonese; 2) consisting of a pattern sequence I can remember]. Does that say I'm mildly superstitious at least?
