This may make your head spin...47 times.

I did some sleuthing regarding the number "47" and have found the following:

- There is a group of pseudo-trekkies from Pomona College devoted to the number - the 47 Society (see Wikipedia)

- 47 is also called a "Carol", a "Keith" (Richards?) and a "safe prime", which I have doubts about. It also has Fibonacci connections, which sounds like a bad movie from the 70s.

- There is also a counterbalance to my theory on a website called "47 Movies", whose author claims this number is lucky for him/her. (I'm guessing it's a "him", but who knows?)


I have a friend who is obsessed by the number 33 and ever since he pointed it out to me I see it everywhere...
