5.5 is a meaningful number. That is how old I was (in years, of course) when I started to really take an interest in world events. My parents left copies of Time magazine around the house, and I would peruse them. I remember being particularly interested in the Iran hostage situation, as covered, for instance, in the issue depicted above from November 1979.
Well, seemingly more trivial, 5.5 is also the number of games by which the blessed Detroit Tigers lead Ozzie Guillen's surly Chicago White Sox after this afternoon's splendid victory back in the Motor City.
Go get 'em, Tigers!
