2,737 In Action!

RESIZE: AAA

2,737 is an awesome number. I mean, check out these interesting facts:

H.R. 2737, The Health Care Relief Act of 2007 would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow previously uninsured individuals a refundable credit for health insurance costs and to provide tax incentives to encourage small business health plans.

2737 Kotka is a Main-belt Asteroid discovered on February 22, 1938 by Y. Vaisala at Turku.

In SA 2737, Tar-Calmacil becomes eighteenth king of Númenor.

People living in 2,737 BC would have to wait 22 years for the Old Kingdom to start in Ancient Egypt (although it is debated that this started much later).

I’m reaching here…

Oh yeah, it’s the exact number of books Speaker Pelosi has sold! (H/T)

(Pelosi’s book) is dramatically overshadowed by the first high profile anti-Obama book, OBAMA NATION, which debuts at #1 on both the BOOKSCAN and the NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller List, with 21,466 copies moved.

That’s just bloody hilarious!

Have I forgotten any notable reference to the number 2,737?

    RFC 2737: Entity MIB (Version 2)

    This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes managed objects used for managing multiple logical and physical entities managed by a single SNMP agent.

    USGS investigation i-2737: Earthquakes In and Near the Northeastern United States, 1638-1998

    Here’s one that looks particularly Pelosi-esque. US Code Title 33, Chapter 40, Subchapter 32, ? 2737:

    Notwithstanding any other law, tank vessels that have spilled more than 1,000,000 gallons of oil into the marine environment after March 22, 1989, are prohibited from operating on the navigable waters of Prince William Sound, Alaska.

    Maybe I misread, but this appears to be the law equivalent of something like this we might see in computer programming:

    # TODO Fix me
if POST['username'] == 'valdez'
     return false
end
