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.' " Dave Bell N37.3W121.9
