What Is the Funniest Number?

[HardOCP News]

Scientific American wants to know what you think is the funniest number. I guess I'll drop my vote for 8008135 in the hat.

I have definitely giggled at the mention of the numbers 69 and 37 (if you’ve seen Clerks, you’ll understand). The number 13 amused me last week when I discovered that not only did my hotel omit the 13th floor (more accurately, they labeled the 13th floor “14&#8243, it didn’t even have room numbers ending in 13. The triskaidekaphobia is strong there. I find 91 funny because it’s not prime but I think it should be, and as a Douglas Adams fan, I’m always happy when I have order number “42” at a restaurant.

I actually have a t-shirt with the 8008135 on it (calculator) and got one for my 14 year old son, too.

That occurs in a lot of buildings and even some airlines. Go to a Chinese owned building and they omit the fourth floor, iirc. It tricked me at first, because I haven't seen that one before.

Clearly it's number 2. There are literally thousands of crappy #2 jokes.

Growing up I aways wanted a personalized license plate that said 3M TA3. But then they got rid of front plates here a while before I could even drive.

I don't know about the funniest, but the best number is 73.

 

[J Macker]

42.

[BladeVenom]

-40 because it's the same for both Celsius and Fahrenheit
10^21 = sextillion

 

[Youn]

420 is the highest number

 

[Youn]

3.14 is the most hunger-inducing number

 

[ShadowDragon]

47!

0. Because when you're the last person alive, it will be such a hysterical number that you'll laugh until you go insane.

Graham's Number.
