Number 44

FWIW, I decided to do a quick check to see if there was any significance to this number.

Well apparently there is if your into things like that, I'm not really but was curious.

Barack Obama birthdate = 8/4/1961 = 8+4+1+9+6+1 = 29. 2+9 = 11. They call this a "Masters" number, along with 22, 33 and yes.... 44

Most of the numbers are reduced to single digits or single vibrant numbers. However, there are four numbers that are known as the master numbers in numerology. The numbers eleven (11), twenty-two (22), thirty-three (33) and forty-four (44) are the four master numbers in numerology.

The four master numbers in numerology are highly vibrant compared to their single digit numbers. These numbers possess strong vibration and emphasis on a greater learning and experiences. According to the numerologists, the master numbers are very challenging and it takes time to integrate these vibrant numbers into one’s personality traits. This is one reason why master numbers are known as late bloomers. For instance, the master number 11 when reduced gives you the values 2. Hence, all the characteristics and personality traits (strength and weakness) of number 2 is associated with the master number 11. This number is also known as the psychic number and it represents a highly sensitive and intuitive characteristic trait.

Similarly, the master number 44 is considered to be an important number by the alchemists. It is believed that people who are born under this number has the ability to create magic around themselves and others. These people are visionaries and have a great desire for knowledge regarding the mysteries of life.

1. numerology is big in the Jewish tradition. I don't know much about it tho.

Just that the alphabet is numbered and the number 18 spells out the word "life" so in Jewish tradition 18 and multiples of 18 are lucky numbers.

2. Wiki has an article on 44 (the number)

Always kind of fun to read these:

Here's one I didn't know:
Bill Clinton (the 42nd President) and George W. Bush (the 43rd President) were born 44 days apart in the summer of 1946.

3. Henry Aaron - the greatest home run hitter EVER wore number 44.

Another class act who will never properly get his due.
The letters he got while he was chasing Babe Ruth's record, will make you wonder how we made it this long as a "civilized society".

edited to add that Hank Aaron was like Jackie Robinson, a black man.
