Eamus Catuli! Sign
What are the numbers supposed to be this year that shows "the year of the cubs?"
My calculations show it should be 026097, though it was 016097 last year.
Does anyone know what it is? If it where 026198, that would mean that there have been 2 years since the playoffs, 61 yrs since the world series, and 98 years since the title. The 2 seems correct, but the 61 and 98 seem a year high, because that tells us that the 2006 season is over, not just begining.
Does anyone have some insight?

Well it can be amusing
was Jelly Donut "Ich bin ein Berliner"
but my all time favorite was sign for Pepsi in
Hong Kong some years ago that was SUPPOSSED to
be a translation of their slogan " Come Alive with
the Pepsi Generation" Alas Cantonese being a language
of a lot of nuance it got translated as
"Pepsi will Bring Your Dead Ancestors Back from
the Grave" I guess that is why I only drink Coke
Did not stay up long

And another one
man to make a tender chicken?" Well they must have hired
the world's worst Spanish translator as the Spanish ads
went out as " It takes a sexually excited man to make
a tender chicken"

Coke in China
Unfortunately, nobody researched what the characters would mean when put together, so they put up signs in China reading "Bite the Wax Tadpole".
Niiice.

The correct numbers should be...
We'll see if it's right come Opening Day.

yeah but...
Thats the way I see it. Then, when we win it all, we get a full season of zeros, not a season of 010101.
