Fifty-three thousand to the minus tenth

A very difficult mathematical operation, which gives as a result 5.7179625e-48, which is a very complex number. A dumb mathematician said that this number is also the result of 1 to the second. That man was murdered soon after.

thousand cranes

1) a simple act, costing nothing at all, with the power to save a life- when only a simple act of kindness can. It is often done to support a cause you believe in, when you can't make a charitable contribution- but make every effort to draw support from others.

An example of a 'thousand cranes' act would be the fundraiser called, "The Heart of a soldier"or "the story of Sultan and SFC Brian Assanowicz" where a community in NJ has come together to raise funds for a stray dog rescued by a U.S. soldier stationed in Afghanistan. in this example, the Vet-i-care division of NorthStar Vets in NJ has committed itself to saving this dog's life- before the funds can be raised.

another example of a 'thousand cranes' act would be to support this cause, if only to find the event flyer online and email it to a news station- which is much simpler than folding even a single origami paper crane and could be the single act of kindness to save a life.

2.) "An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury." as published on wikipedia

3.) "the title of a book called "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Eleanor Coerr, first published in 1977." which tells the story of a young girl stricken with leukemia by the bomb dropped in Hiroshima, Japan" as published on wikipedia
I am doing the 'thousand cranes' act of making this legitimate definition viral, because i refuse to stand by and do nothing when i can help save a life with the simplest of acts. please do a single 'thousand cranes' gesture- if only once in your life. you may inspire someone else to do the same- and the life saved next might be yours.

a 'thousand cranes' gesture would be to support "a Heart of a Soldier" or "the story of Sultan and SFC Brian Assanowicz" and help save the life of an injured stray dog found by a U.S. Soldier in Afghanistan.

Two Thousand and Swine

The 2009 swine flu outbreak, which many predict marks the end of the human race as we know it. Certainly a valid cause for widespread panic. At least until 2012 rolls around...

soul and a thousand comas

A common turn of phrase, often used to describe a wonderful tale. Strange in facts but somehow still appealing. An entertaining story, that is only entertaining due to the person telling. Perhaps you'll even learn a deeper meaning due to its ludicrousness.
Wow, forget all of those gramar inconsistencies, this writing is amazing. It's so full of soul and a thousand comas.
