Phantom Floor

It was my first day back at work at Abramson Research Center. I got on the elevator as usual, pressed the button for the eighth floor and waited as the bell sounded at each floor, mentally counting each ding. That is when I realized that Abramson doesn't have a sixth floor!

Isn't that strange?

What is the deal?

Was it a mistake in the blueprint?

Is six an unlucky number?

Wouldn't it be weird if we woke up one day to discover that the number six didn't exist? Or maybe the number 9 because 7 got hungry in the middle of the night and 7 8 9.

I wouldn't lose too much sleep over these questions, people. Numbers don't get hungry.
