A Troll on Karl Johan Street

and another thing I was wondering about: in French, the words for one through thirteen are all single syllable (well, usually, I guess) ... I wonder if that's the longest streak, or whether there's a language that beats it?

I do want to shout out the anti-forgery number characters and the no longer ever used character for thirty as some of the top number representations, though...

I was like "I can't believe a guy named Edmund de Haas wrote a book with 'hare' in the title" only it turns out his name is Edmund de Waal, and I had accidentally made his name more thematically appropriate in my mind.

The threshold for being famous enough to be recognizable is a lot lower if your looks are unusual, sort of like the threshold for being top google result for your name depends on the weirdness of the name
