Instead of a word-based association game, what about a numerical association game? Begin by making a statement using the number immediately following the one listed in the current listed post. Either the raw number form (i.e., three) or the ordinal version could be used (i.e., twenty-third). For example: Post:One in a million Followed by:Second to none Ill start.This is thefirstpost.

    (112) 112 is the common emergency telephone number that can be dialed free of charge from most mobile telephones and, in some countries, fixed telephones in order to reach emergency services (ambulance, fire and rescue, police). 112 is a part of the GSM standard and all GSM-compatible telephone handsets are able to dial 112 even when locked or, in some countries, with no SIM card present. It is also the common emergency number in India and in nearly all member states of the European Union as well as several other countries of Europe and the world. 112 is often available alongside other numbers traditionally used in the given country to access emergency services. In some countries, calls to 112 are not connected directly but forwarded by the GSM network to local emergency numbers (e.g., 911 in North America or 000 in Australia). 112 is not always supported by VoIP operators or on non-GSM networks.

    (116)The 116 Clique(pronounced one-one-six click) is an American Southern Christian hip hop collective from Dallas, Texas signed to Reach Records. It consists primarily of Reach Records artists, but contains artists from other labels. The 116 Clique is named after the Bible verse Romans 1:16: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile." For them it means acknowledging the power of the Gospel and the divine calling to proclaim it in every area of their life. "We can lay our lives down to serve and glorify God in everything we do."

    (119)"119"is a love story masquerading as a comedy. Unfortunately, the characters are not deep enough to pull this off. The opening sequence is hilarious, but it promises more than the film delivers. A "cute" story of the men in a small village fire department who have never seen a fire to fight. The monotony of their daily lives is interrupted by the appearance of a beautiful female college student who comes to visit her aunt. Not a great film, but a cute film, worth watching for the wonderful soundtrack alone.

    No one so far has lived longer than 122 - the age reached by Jeanne Calment
    However Dutch researchers forecast that people will reach 125 in 5 decades
    The first person to reach this age is likely to be a Japanese woman, they said

    (126) 126 is the number given to a cartridge-based film format used in still photography. It was introduced by Kodak in 1963, and is associated mainly with low-end point-and-shoot cameras, particularly Kodak's own Instamatic series of cameras. Although 126 was once very popular, as of 2008 it is no longer manufactured, and few photofinishers will process it.

    The "Urban Dictionary" defines132as being short for "FU!" It's derived from the way one can count their ten fingers in binary. If you assign binary numbers to your digits, starting from your thumb to your pinky 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 on one hand, and then 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512 on the other hand, the number 132 would be displayed using both middle fingers exclusively (4+128=132).

    (133)The SEAT 133was a small rear-engine car designed and sold by SEAT in Spain from 1974 to 1979. The car used the chassis and engine of the by then defunct Fiat/SEAT 850 and featured a new body in the style of the contemporary, somewhat smaller and only indirectly related Fiat 126. The car was first exhibited at the Barcelona Motor Show in May 1974. Noteworthy at that time was the compression ratio of only 8:1, which permitted the car to run on 85 octane petrol/gasoline. This was still appropriate in Spain, but elsewhere in western Europe even "regular" fuel grades by now generally guaranteed a higher minimum octane rating.
