Nice! It took me a while to get that...

^ Yes, that's very interesting because it's the same number upside down.
Yes. It's not just for cunning linguists.
Such as Col. Angus.

Indeed. Col. Angus apparently rubs some people the wrong way.

Nolite te bastardes carborundum.
each digit is divisible by 3, the sum of the digits (24) is also divisible by 3, and the different combinations of digits (639, 396, 63,96, 39) are all divisible by 3. It seemed a lot cooler before I typed it out

Me too--I'd be thrilled to have it! I'm one of the ten female Rush fans.

I once had 152, which is my height in centimeters. I thought it was cool at the time.
okay, I'll admit it. how could one not love Tom Sawyer?

My favorite bibs:
The latter because it's second corral at Boston (before they changed how the bib-numbering scheme).

DH was #1 once. It was a really small race. He has that one up on his office wall he was so pleased. His last name starts with an A so I am pretty sure it was alphabetical.

Are we there, yet?
In my first marathon, Boston 1970, I had bib X1. It was so unusual for a race to have 1000 runners or more that the bib numbers only went up to 999, then they had to switch to alphanumeric bibs.
