I think it's a HUGE mistake. Now if you say 'G8' people will think you're talking about some industrial conspiracy. And if you say 'V8' people will think you're talking about vegetable juice. It's all doomed, further burdened by the need for backward compactability.I just can't stop snickering about this... Genesis 8.
Damn this new math.
You're probably right about their not wanting to confuse Genesis 4 with Generation 4, but they could've easily made it Genesis 5 instead of Genesis 8.Terre, I think its because the wanted to catch up to the V numbers and that Genesis 4 would get mixed up with Generation 4 (V4). I think Centaur 7 was a prelude as there were nothing previous to C7.
So it kinda goes: Millennium 1, 2, 3, 4 (which people also call Generation 1-4 which includes V1-4 & M1-4); Genesis, 2, 3 (V5-7 & M5-7) and Genesis 8 (only V8 so far but you know M8 will follow shortly).
Having had several root canals over the years, though it's been quite a while, I can empathize. My problem was always finding the money, as my old firm didn't offer a dental insurance plan along with it's regular health insurance plan.Sooo ... I had an appointment at noonish today for a root canal evaluation. Turned out, I actually had the root canal. However, since I'd already done my homework and had read reviews for this place, I knew there was a possibility they might actually do the root canal. I also needed to have the root canal done before the end of the month because our insurance runs July to June, and this way the root canal would be covered with this year's benefits, and the crown would be covered under next year's, which should leave me benefits for my four periodontist visits.
I'd also researched what kinds of foods I could eat after a root canal, so I also shopped accordingly. I have potatoes (for mashed potatoes), bananas for smoothies, and ice cream ... and not much else. I also picked up applesauce from CVS when I picked up the antibiotic prescription. I asked for antibiotics since a rash on my leg has flared up and I can't tell yet whether it's cellulitis. I see my regular doctor next Friday, but ... I don't want to risk an infection with my tooth when I may already have an infection elsewhere.
Granted, I don't plan to be touching the rash and then the tooth Or any other part of my body. But, I'd rather be safe than sorry.
It wasn't as horrifying as I expected. But I had a lot of trouble getting my stress down. Though once he started work, I finally was able to start relaxing. Now of course, my jaw is starting to ache. I'm to take 600 mg of advil at mealtimes and bedtimes (four times a day) for four days. Gosh. That's a lot of Advil!!!
Yes they could have Miss B but I think they took the opportunity to align the number with the Vic & Mike numbers. (They did the same with Windows 10, they left out 9 so it wouldn't get confused with Windows 98)You're probably right about their not wanting to confuse Genesis 4 with Generation 4, but they could've easily made it Genesis 5 instead of Genesis 8.
As far as Centaur 7, that's still part of Genesis 3, even though it's the first ever Centaur character, which was probably based, in part, on Mike 7.
Hmmmmm, I hadn't thought of that, but I suppose that could've been what they were thinking.Yes they could have Miss B but I think they took the opportunity to align the number with the Vic & Mike numbers.

As long as they're the ones shooting themselves in the foot.It does raise an interesting scenario though! I .e. Hold handgun in right hand, pull back and release slide, release safety catch, point at foot and gently squeeze trigger!
That does make sense. I'd been wondering why there was no 9.Hmmmmm, I hadn't thought of that, but I suppose that could've been what they were thinking.
Agreed. LOLAs long as they're the ones shooting themselves in the foot.
Satira, I hope you recover smoothly and without complication.
Thanks Terre I still got times where my stomach just starts to churn and I get really anxious but it's slowly improving. At least now reports are done and I'm looking forward to a break in two weeks time.Hi Pen. I hope things are going better for you now.
I just can't stop snickering about this... Genesis 8.
Damn this new math.
Almost as funny as Apple's feline numbering system.
