Pirating Numbers

Yargh, I've pillaged all my music for all the numbers contained in it all. Here is the list of numbers generated: 3, 1 000 000, 1, 46, 2, 16, 99, 17, 21, 35, 52, 40, 1999, 7, 4, 0, 100, 40, 1969, 1973, 1979, 3, 500, 1000, 60, 10, 9, 20, 45, 300, 92, 50 000 000 000, 1955, 50 000 000, 50, and 2.5. I counted all Ohh's and Nothing's as 0, just to keep it interesting! It's really interesting pulling the numbers out of the context of their song, it strips them of their meaning, and also leaves the song without numbers in it. It's like an anti-numeric revolution! Kids, don't pirate music, get your musical fix at iTunes...or, don't sell out to them, thats much more awesome!
