Any number can be interesting, in the proper context! As G H Hardy
recalled of the great Indian mathenatician-savant, Ramanujan:

"I remember once going to see him when he was lying ill at Putney. I had
ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and remarked that the number seemed to me
rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavorable omen. 
'No,' he replied, 'it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest
number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.' "
