Well, I mean you could have some fun with it. You know like trying to figure out WTF 13 meant.

I always find it impressive that they determined this back in the mid 1800's.

Interchangeable usually but they might rub your fender well a bit, they will probably throw off your speedometer a little too.

That's what I was gonna say. I think jbombelli was trying to get into our heads. It did'nt work.

I have a thick skull.

Can't believe no one is talking about 42.

I know what precent you are referencing... and I want to say I'm disappointed, I just never thought you of all people would be for that.

Nope. It was actually the number 13 in hexadecimal. Lol. How could you not know that?

 

[nonobaddog]

121 in every number system except binary of course.

It's anachronism. Like the old Negro Leagues. "Offensive," is based more on intent than the word itself. If you're saying things because you think it's funny to say so, or you intend to be offensive, then you will probably get yourself into trouble with people who recognize it as such.

So you're saying you take it the same way I take slurs.

It's only offensive when there's intent to be a **** behind it.

printcraft was wrong. That's what I was really gonna say.

I Google a lot of stuff on here being a out of date county boy sometimes I find and like this time the only thing I can find is possibly the 13th amendment, but in his post that wouldn't make sense.

I was thinking '13 percent', the demographic for black people in the US

So if that's the case he pulled the race card....

 

[BugI02]

What about a guy that is 71 and definitely grew up with the word and means no offense and never did mean any offense.

That's nuance, and the 'privileged' can't have some

 

[BugI02]

I remember a time when the term "Negro" was acceptable as in "United Negro Collage Fund" until it wasn't. I don't think anyone here is genuinely looking to offend anyone. Case in point the mention of the word "Maroon" is supposedly an offensive slur that a lot of people weren't even aware of until it was pointed out by someone, unnecessarily IMO, because it was never intended to be used a such.

So, Bugs Bunny is racist, then?
