Buckshot Bear Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I've always, when looking at the digital clock in my cars (only place I have them) when I see 3.57, 5.56, 3.03, 2.23, 3.08, 2.43, 2.20, 3.38 and others thought 'cartridge'. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee Trapper Tom Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Yep pretty automatic no matter where I see numbers. I also see military nomenclatures. Like 151, 113, 88, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Ever since 9/11 , there are days that I will randomly look at a wall clock, the stove clock, or cellphone at exactly 9:11AM or 9:11PM. Obviously I see other times when looking, but not as many times as the 9:11 time. I see it as a much needed reminder of the lives lost that day.

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I was flat on my back in the oral surgeon's chair, enduring a root canal ... the good doctor was switching bits every several seconds, calling out the designations. I began to get worried when he passed 20, when he reached and went beyond 35 ... I was thinking this isn't diameter in millimeters, maybe it's length ... ... wait a minute ... ... I can visualize the bore diameter of the Oerlikon 20mm antiaircraft gun, and I can picture the width of 35mm camera film, and we're beyond that now ... ... is his drill going to come out my scalp right here directly? FORTUNATELY the bits are numbered sequentially and are NOT length in millimeters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I do that. I see cartridge designations in clocks, license plates, price tags, etc. I saw a truck with 3006 on its license plate recently. Weird thing was a short time later I saw another truck with 3030 on its plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Kind of like pareidolia, seeing faces in rocks or other natural things. Some that get me are 6:09, since I had a long gone and much loved dog who would always wake me at that hour, 911 for a couple of reasons and calibers, of course.

Anyone else? I see them in clocks and RFD mailbox numbers. Mailbox across the street from a friend is 4440. Mailbox along the way on another local street 223. Probably have seen more just can't think of them right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
