How about this for a little different take on 10,000 days, think of it as a bit of a juxtoposition, a duality of sorts as there appears to be in everything else that Tool does. Tool are like onions, many layers... the math may or may not be exact with what I'm going to throw out at you, but work with it. I'm sure someone out there with a pocket protector will either corroborate me or throw me under the bus.

MJK just had his 42nd birhday, give or take a number of days. A long time ago (or not so long ago) Tool released their E.P., Opiate in 1992 (14 years ago) depending on the month. By my calculation, give or take a few days for leap years. He was alive almost 10K days until their release date.

Actually because I've done the math. He was born on April 17, 1964. Opiate was released on March 10, 1992. 10,189 days from his date of birth until their first release. However, we can bring it in a little closer. As we all know or should know. He was only in LA playing with the guys a few months before they landed their first deal, which would narrow in a lot closer on 10K days.

Just another way of looking at it....
