I'm Counting on It!

I'd forgotten about this, but going through some old email today reminded me that I "discovered" this a few years ago. Here's something weird you can do with numbers:





1 2 3 4

6 8 10 12

15 18 21 24

28 32 36 40

45 50 55 60

66 72 78 84

91 98 105 112

and so on, apparently forever (although I only went up to multiples of 11 before I quit, figuring that way I wouldn't go crazy). Each set of 4 numbers starts where the other one left off, going up from multiples of 1 to multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on. It's weird.

What is this called? Is there a term for this sort of progression? Man, numbers are bizarre.

1 Fish, 2 Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

Fish can count. It's kinda cool right now, but when they become our Fishy Overlords, will it seem so nifty? Who will be laughing then? Probably not the fish, cause fish can't laugh. They can count, though.
