Sometime last summer it hit me that my favorite number is 213. We were driving down the freeway and I saw a sign for mile marker 213 and it just clicked. I have no idea why 213, I just like it for some reason. My hunch is that I've got some cracked-up subconscious connection to a 213 somewhere and I manifest the bond by liking the number. How's that for pshchobabble?

I'd never had a favorite number before - except maybe eleventeen - and I'll be the first to admit that having a favorite number is kind of stupid. I'll also be the first to admit that having a favorite number that's greater than 100 is even more stupid. Hell, I'll be the first to admit that as a rule, I'm stupid.

Here are some web references to the number 213:

• 213 things Skippy can't do. Skippy seems to think these are all funny. Dave thinks Skippy is a doof.
• Some fancy art gallery named Gallery213. They sell something called 'Functional Art'. Oookay.
• Sun Security Bulletin 213, documenting a buffer overflow problem in /bin/login.
• Unfortunately, 213.com is taken. Nobody is using it for anything that I could find, though.

All in all, I'd say that's a pretty weak showing for something as cool as the number 213.
