Ok, sounds like its coming along.  May as well do something constructive.

In quantum mechanics there is a number that keeps cropping up that no one can explain, it's kind of a 'magic' number, it's called the fine structure constant... It's approximately 1/137, so I use the number 137 whenever I can...

Sorry to let my geek show...

Wow,

since my 6 yr old hasn't quite got to fine structure constants, or string theory (silly string theory maybe), she just used her birth day and favorite numbers. :)

Very interesting though!!

Cool website for science stuff.

When I used to race motocross on an 80 I was 127, Moved to the 125/250 expert class I was 327, AMA Motocross/Supercross 727. So when I first started Roadracing I felt I should try to run one of the same numbers. So my novice year I ran 727, but my mechanic Pat wanted a two digit # so that it was easier to fit on the bike - so last year for my first Expert season I ran 72 and for the AMA races I had 727.... I'm glad I have the same AMA #'s but at the same time I would like an AMA number in the double digits.....Unlike AMA Motocross where you earn a two digit by finishing the season in the top 100 in points, With AMA Road Racing guys almost have assigned lifetime numbers(as long as you turn the application in by the dead line).........

My wifes birthday 717.... wanted my sons 119 but it was taken...  :'(

Add another one here, mine is my wifes b-day too. Plus now I am superstitious about running any other number it's kept me safe so far, so I wouldn't want to change.

funny story...

In 2002, I turned in my license renewal and wanted a new number.  I asked for:

"The LOWEST ODD NUMBER available".

Apparently somebody thought 42 was pretty odd...   ::)

But since 42 is the answer to life itself, I'm happy with it.
