3. this sounds crazy.... but it is 54,000
and I have no idea why.... I always randomly think of it.

When I am tired and in the shower.... I will just say it outloud for some reason and not know why and I am not the kind of person who talks to himself in public or anything. It really freaks me out.

It's like aliens put it inside my head or something. I have been obsessed by this number for like at least 10 years. freaky.

28. 70s - 80s. Played for the Orioles and the Angels.
Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 12:28 PM by bertha katzenengel


That's Doug DeCinces on the left. 1986 AL Playoffs. When the Angels were up 3-1 on the Red Sox, lost game 4 at home, then lost the last two at Fenway. The Sports Illustrated Curse strikes again.

24. 137
Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 12:23 PM by Salviati
(all you physics majors check in here!)

because the fine structure constant, alpha, which is a dimentionless (meaning a number that will be the same, no matter what units you use to measure it) number which governs many of the physical phenomena that we see is really, really close to 1/137.

So if you ever need to open a physicists briefcase, try 137 as the combo.

34. Four
Four is a balanced number. Also, when I was a kid and had math problems I figured out that I could break larger numbers down into groups of fours and pieces of fours: eight is two fours, ten is two and a half fours, and so on, and that made numbers easier to imagine and work with.
