A Webtiger's mark

My personal Webtiger's mark is beta3625169410 (a string of characters formed by the name of the second letter of the Greek alphabet, and seven numbers squared, in inverted order). 

—You can find many of my writings and some images/pictures, by typing in the search box of Google this: beta3625169410; then, you will be able to follow the links. 

I invite you to create a unique mark, your personal Webtiger's mark, so the public/readers will be identifying more easily your websites, webpages, texts, images, photographs, videos, messages, links, et cetera.

My personal mark would be the "smell" of my urine if I were a tiger which marks territories by urinating on trees. 

Tigers are known for marking their territory by urinating on trees. 

(Please click on the below image in order to enlarge it.)




You can copy these paragraphs (with slight [or major] modifications for the convenience of you and for the benefit of your readers, friends, acquaintances, customers, et cetera) and the above image, which shows a urinating Web tiger, and paste them in some or all of your websites.

Or you can create another image...

... and, what your Webtiger's mark will be?

Now, I will sprinkle/pour some incense smoke on me:*

*Vanitas vanitatum, dixit Qoheleth, vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas. (Liber Ecclesiastes, I, 2)

I think this idea of a Webtiger's mark could turn into the thirty-second greatest idea/event in importance since the beginning.

1. Creation of angels.
2. Creation of the universe, or Big Bang.
3. Creation/apparition of human beings.
4. Invention of language.
5. Invention of the alphabet/abecedary.
6. Invention of numbers.

7. Heliocentrism.
Aristarchus of Samos (310 B.C.-230 B.C.), a Greek astronomer and mathematician. To our knowledge, he was the first person to postulate the heliocentric model for the Solar System, eighteen centuries before Polish astronomer Copernicus did.

8. Redemption of the human species (about 30, A.D.).

9. Invention of zero .
The invention of the number 0 (zero) is credited to Indian mathematician and astronomer Aryabhatta (476-550 A.D.). The Arabs learned about the zero from India, and took that knowledge to Europe after 800 A.D. The major contribution of Aryabhatta is the zero, so it became immortal. He did not use the symbol, but French mathematician Georges Ifrah argues that the knowledge of the zero was implicit in the place value system as a place holder for the powers of 10 with null coefficients. The assumption is based on two facts: first, the invention of his alphabetical counting system would have been impossible without the zero or the place-value system; secondly, Aryabhatta performs calculations of square and cubic roots which are impossible if numbers in question are not written according to the place-value system and the zero.

The first evidence of use of the symbol we know today as zero: 0, dates from the seventh century, common era (C.E.).

10. Laws on elliptical orbits of planets and satellites. German astronomer, physicist, and mathematician Johannes Kepler, in 1609.

17. God, uncreated (1923). 

French Catholic intellectualist philosopher Jacques Maritain (11/18/1882-04/28/1973), educated in Protestantism, then he was an agnostic, and by the age of 23, in 1906, converted to Catholicism. 


In the chapter Ontology: substance and accident, of his work Éléments de philosophie, I: Introduction générale à la philosophie, 1920, II. L'ordre des concepts (Petite logique), 1923, Maritain states that God exists a se, or by Himself, who has in Himself the whole explanation of his existence; He is uncaused, only God exists by Himself, a se; neither in se nor per se.

In today's brave, fast-paced, web-based world, praise to Tim Berners-Lee (London, 1955- ), of the CERN, Centre Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire, near Geneva, Switzerland, for having created the world wide web (www, an important part of the internet, but not to be confused with this one) in 1990, and for having simply given it all away for free to the world, only promoting its wider use.
