555? I did not understand it, but I made a search. Today, I learned something.

According to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_(number) 555 may mean, among many things:

- A musical piece by Frank Zappa (Five-Five-FIVE). It refers to the time signature of the composition (5/8 - 5/8 - 5/4).
- The Thai version of lol in a text conversation. "5" in Thai is pronounced "ha", so three of them would be "hahaha."
- "5" in Mandarin Chinese is pronounced "wu" so three together would be "wuwuwu", which sounds somewhat like sobbing.

Are you Chinese or Thai? That is: were you sobbing or laughing??

PS: My nickname is the title of one of the best tracks of Frank Zappa. I like to think that you were not laughing, neither sobbing, but rather honouring my name...
