I Like Numbers, post-mortem

Soooo...

It turns out there Twitter has limits on how many tweets you can send in a certain time-period. Unfortunately, sending interesting number facts to every tweet that mentioned the words "interesting", "trivia", or "fact", as well as a number, got me up to that limit pretty darned quickly.  It also met with some...hostile...interactions - my personal favourite was the following exchange:

 229 is the lowest individual batting score not achieved by any player in test match cricket.

 1 is the ammount[sic] of middle fingers i have raised at that tweet

So, in the interests of keeping under the limit (and not inciting Internet hatred!), I'll only be sending unsolicited facts (i.e. facts triggered by mentioning numbers, but not specifically in an @-mention) to followers of the bot. If you want to follow the bot, but not have your non-@-mentioning tweets responded to, let me know and I'll add you to an exclusion list.

I leave you with this:
