From now on, every post here will be
151 word story. Why? Because you can light the rum on fire. Because
it's a prime number and a palindrome. R.E.M. sang about it and I
still don't know what it meant. It's a psalm, a sonnet, a song in a
hymnal and the total number of Pokemon in the first set. It's about 5
months, which feels right. It's been 151 years since Gettysburg and
the fall of Vicksburg, which hints at triumph.
There have been a few disasters that
took the lives of 151 people, which makes it newsworthy but also
limited in the grand scheme of disasters. It's slightly longer than a
rule-of-thumb length for good marketing emails, and these are better
than spam. It's a lucky number. The first story had 151 words and I
needed a rule. It worked for Twitter. I'm more creative with
restrictions. Why not?
