You probably know the rhyme about magpies:
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told.
And it continues, in some versions, up to thirteen. Continue this rhyme further to tell us what it would be 106 for.

@jimgroom Yeah, he was a good #ds106 revolutionary. "The revolution being led by Mr. Liddell seems worthy and given the egregious and nefarious behavior of the Mr. Groom on the Twitter and on Justin’s telly…"https://droblivion.wordpress.com/2011/07/06/long-live-the-new-flesh/@creating @cogdog
