Number 19, Number 19, Number 19 …

Quote of the day:
Fascinating that an atheist would have such a strong connection to the number 19:
–19 is the number of years in each cycle of the Hebrew calendar.
–19 is the number of angels guarding Hell.
–The Bahá’í calendar is structured so that a year contains 19 months of 19 days each, as well as a 19-year cycle and a 361-year (19×19) supercycle.
–19 is considered significant in astrology because it is the sum of the number of the constellations of the zodiac (12) and the number of the classically-known "planets" (7, including the sun and moon).
–The first verse in the Quran, `In the name of God, most gracious, most merciful’ consists of 19 letters and every word of this verse is repeated as a multiple of nineteen. The Quran consist of 114 chapter’s (19×6). The first chapter revealed, sura 96 consists of 19 verses. The last Quranic revelation, sura 110 consists of exactly 19 words.
Hmmm…

LOL, fp! I have had a nineteen hand three times in a row. Now I am looking at a winner!
19 is the point value of a “bust” cribbage hand… no combination of static scoring creates a hand worth nineteen points, hence the disgusted gesture of throwing ones cards face up while proclaiming, “I got a nineteen hand.”
