So, around the same time as I embarked on my Fictional Initials project, I also started this, a post about Notable Numbers. My goal was to find a Notable Number which had some personal bearing in my life or in my pop culture appreciation, which could also be understood by others. I decided that my range limit to this would be from 1 to 10,000.
Of course, this is a ludicrous undertaking. While there were only 676 combinations in the Fictional Initials category, there are obviously 10,000 whole numbers from 1 to 10,000.
As a result, this post is one that I have continued to add to a lot more than the other. So far, I have entries for 461 of the 10,000, or 04.61% of the total.
And some of them are hardly notable, as you will see. Indeed, there is a disproportionate amount which come from whatever I happened to be watching recently (you can practically trace my recent viewership of Star Trek Voyager, for example). Nonetheless, they are mostly pop culture references of some sort, while others are related to other personal interests of mine.
