Today is the 356 day of the year.
356 = 2^2 x 89
Think of a number, say 152.
Add the digits, 1 + 5 + 2 = 8.
Add the two numbers together, 152 + 8 = 160.
There is no number anywhere in the universe that when you apply the three steps above gives an answer of 356. This makes 356 a self number (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_number).
Today is the winter solstice, "the shortest day".
Today is the 40 anniversary of the stretch of the M4 from junction 8/9 to junction 15 being opened.
