Just one question...Why 43?
According to the FAQs on the 43things website:
Why is it called 43 Things?
Everything needs a name. We think 43 is the right number of things for a busy person to try and do. Why not more? It’s too much. Why not less? You can do less, but it is still called 43 Things.
so there you go, forty-three.
word.
There was nothing about a hostile takeover of the Fournous empire? ;-)
