To be 17 again... or just 34...

Happy Birthday to me... was a great day... some interesting facts about the number 34:

selenium

Grey, non-metallic element, atomic number 34, relative atomic mass 78.96. It belongs to the sulphur group and occurs in several allotropic forms that differ in their physical and chemical properties. It is an essential trace element in human nutrition.

Obtained from many sulphide ores and selenides, it is used as a red colouring for glass and enamel.

Because its electrical conductivity varies with the intensity of light, selenium is used extensively in photoelectric devices. It was discovered in 1817 by Swedish chemist Jöns Berzelius and named after the Moon because its properties follow those of tellurium, whose name derives from Latin Tellus ‘Earth’.

Just like my hair color....

34 is also:

• Secret meaning in Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity
• The traffic code of Istanbul, Turkey
• Kevin Schwantz's race number
• "#34," a song by Dave Matthews Band
• The magic square puzzle in the 1970s 34 Skidoo
• In the title of the 1947 movie Miracle on 34th Street, remade in 1994
• The number of the French department Hérault
• +34 is the code for international direct-dial phone calls to Spain
• The lucky number of Victor Pelevin's protagonist Stepan Mikhailov in the novel "Numbers", published as part of DTT(NN) [Dialectics in Times of Transition (from Nowhere into Nothing)]

Should be a good year :)
