The Number One!!!

Hi All,

And you all thought that I was a 'words' type person? Nope, I love numbers as much as the next person. As I promised a few days ago (see entry called, 'Numbers, Numbers, Everywhere') I said I was going to start a set of entries with numbers. Starting with the number 1....forthwith, that entry!

Google +1 Button - let's users know that whatever you are +1 gets your seal of approval. Click here to go to Google+

1(Number) - entry from Wikipedia that talks about the number 1 as a number, digit and in fiction (yes, fiction). Also, the entry talks about the number in technology, science, sports and more.

ONE - Taken from the 'About Us' part of the their website, 'ONE is a grassroots advocacy and campaigning organization that fights extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa, by raising public awareness and pressuring political leaders to support smart and effective policies and programs that are saving lives, helping to put kids in school and improving futures.'

1% of the Planet (Keep Earth in Business) - organization that (and I'm quoting from the sites' 'About Us' page), 'Since 2001, 1% for the Planet has inspired members of the business community to contribute 1% of sales to environmental groups around the world. In return, this growing alliance of companies is given the opportunity not only to see their self-worth rise, but their net worth climb as well'...

1(New York City Subway Service) - everything you wanted to know about the 1 train that goes from Van Cortlandt Park-242nd to South Ferry in Manhattan. Schedules, stops and more are included on the page.

The Big Red One - link is from Wikipedia and summarizes the movie of the same name that came out in 1980. The movie details the experiences of several US soldiers from the 1st Infantry Division during World War II. Click here for the direct link to the Big Red One website. There is a huge amount of information regarding this unit on their page!

Happy Thanksgiving!
