Take the number of sides on a Creeper's head,
Add the season count of the show in this place instead,

✦ TRANSMISSION FROM THE RIGHT-SIDE UP ✦
Hey Friend —
You are the kind of person who notices things others miss.
The science that explains everything,
the space between galaxies that goes on forever,
the mysteries lurking somewhere in the dark.
Keep asking why. That’s where all the good stuff lives.
Happy birthday. You are genuinely awesome.
◈ Space fact
There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on every beach on Earth — and you are made of atoms forged inside those stars.
⚛ Science fact
If you unraveled all the DNA in your body it would stretch from Earth to Pluto and back — 17 times. You contain multitudes.
▲ ST fact
The Upside Down is theoretically real. Physicists call parallel dimensions “branes” in string theory. You already knew to look for it.
