Title: Trivia by number Post by: gleek on February 06, 2008, 02:57:58 PM 1. Guess the significance of a number. Subject matter can be anything, but should be based on common knowledge. Nothing too esoteric.
2. Refrain from using Google/Wikipedia. 3. Sports records don't have to all-time best. They can be records that have stood for many years but have recently been broken. 4. Some numbers may have multiple correct answers so even if your response isn't what the submitter of the clue intended, it could still be correct. 5. If you answer correctly, post the next clue. Let's start with a can of corn: 755 Title: Re: Trivia by number Post by: Aske on February 06, 2008, 03:00:34 PM The pre-steroid homerun mark

There's nothing he likes more than to be in the arms of some poor, unsuspecting victim so he can let out a big, juicy one when you press the remote control. And he's so embarrassed; his little cheeks glow blushing red whenever he passes gas. Adorable as he is, he's always forgiven. You, maybe not. Polyester fiber and fill and plastic pellet fill.
