Sending a Myriad of Good Wishes Your Way!

I take this opportunity of thanking my readers for helping me get to the 10,000 mark for total blog views!  Thanks much!!!

Did you know the English language has a name for 10,000?  "Myriad."  Now you know when someone says that they have "a myriad of activities that day", that, in fact, they have 10,000 things to do. 
A mathematician wishing to add to a dinner conversation might mention that "A myriagon is a polygon with 10,000 sides."  Noting the amazement on the glazed over faces of the other guests, the professor of Ancient Languages sitting two seats over would hastily add, "10,000 is represented by  'M' in Greek, and the letter is called 'Murious' which the Romans later converted to 'Myriad.'"  To which the high school kid stuck in between them would roll his eyes while groaning audibly.
