Bells (Part II)

I called this post "Bells (Part II)" although it really doesn't have much to do with part one; still, it's about a bell and what's a guy supposed to do?

And, like the Super Bowl and other venues, they use a different one every year.  But cutting to the chase, after looking at these logos like a million times, I suddenly see a bell:

Of course I'm finding out that the shape of a bell is called ....get this... a bell - on all objects; for example, the trumpet and other horn instruments:


Now, I realize this is not earth-shattering news and probably most of you knew this; however, I hate brass instruments and have always avoided them.

Still, it occurs to me that trumpets are used a great deal in the broadcasting the arrival of royalty; even Christ's return will be with the sound of the trumpet.  All of this makes Bob Schlenker's posts about bells [1] [2] seem even more important to me.

Golden Boy?


SIXTY (R)

60
R = 18th letter of the alphabet

60 x 18 = 1080

1080/666 = 1.62162162 or VERY CLOSE to the Golden Number (aka Golden Ratio, which is approximately 1.61803398874989)
