I wish

If unfulfilled wishes were pounds, I'd be the world's biggest man.

And it's not as though I don't do anything about my wishes either.  I've been religiously waiting for 11:11 and making a wish every time for ever now (that's, like, for more than two years), but my wishes have just not been coming true  :(

So I did a little research on the theory of wishing today, and I actually made some progress, so I'm posting my results as my blog entry for the day.  I'm a mathematician, so when I say "research" I don't mean "google search" (I mean drawing oversized calculus symbols with a pencil on the back of an old envelope), and when I say "results" I don't mean a collection of links to other sites.  I mean concrete statements such as:

In order for a wish to come true, it may not suffice to simply make the wish at 11:11.  The chances of a wish coming true increase by between 800% and 1200% if the wish is said out loud 11 times during the minute when the clock shows 11:11.

Which would explain why I haven't been having much success, because my wishes are mostly six sentences long and in a foreign language  :(

Which, however, does not mean that I'm downgrading to shorter wishes now.  I'll keep making the same wishes, I'll just try to speak faster.

It's 10:11 PM now, so in an hour ...  Wish me luck!
