Grosjean Number

Palindromic, sequenced, or repeating numbers on odometers/trip meters.

Doug Grosjean, of IBMWR Presidential fame, has always been fascinated by palindromic or repeating number sequences as they rolled up on the odometer, frequently posting pictures of his speedometer as the odometer and trip meter lined up to make memorable numbers. Who doesn't remember cracking that first 100,000 miles on their vehicle?

While some number combinations are naturally occurring, the chances of other combinations self-occurring are remarkably slim and require preplanning by the watcher. This helps provide some level of interaction with the process, further improving the enjoyment achieved by people wanting to create their own Grosjean Numbers. Having multiple odometers helps improve the difficulty of creating multiple number combinations further decreasing boredom while on those long trips!

A friend's son attending Penn State explained the phenomenon to his math teachers, who quickly adopted Grosjean Numbers within examples of their class work.

Grosjean Number examples can be found on your speedometer

ponce number 1

a male could be described as 'ponce number 1' if he is a hat fanatic, has been found comparing himself to 'light speed champion' and only tries it on with girls in top set for English. A ponce number one would wear boating shoes but tries on women's high heels in his spare time. They like "designers" and are constantly branded with Jack Wills, Abercrombie and Fitch or Hollister. He takes pride in his basement and having sexual activities performed on him while playing on an Xbox. The worst kind of twat, this ponce is constantly sarcastic but never fails to amuse.

"I knew ponce number 1 was poncely, but what's with the boating shoes?"

SOPHIA: i saw ponce number one wearing that reversible fur trapper the other day.
DANIELLA: come on, at least he wasn't wearing girls' shoes..
SOPHIA: i heard he stores them in his basement.

DANIELLA: (laughs) But I heard he got a handjob while playing on his Xbox..
SOPHIA: innit, that is SO ponce

Number 15: Burger king foot lettuce

A god among men and a patron saint

Number 15: Burger king foot lettuce. The last thing you'd want in your Burger King burger is someone's foot fungus. But as it turns out, that might be what you get. A 4channer uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his feet in a plastic bin of lettuce. With the statement: "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King." Admittedly, he had shoes on. But that's even worse.

The post went live at 11:38 PM on July 16, and a mere 20 minutes later, the Burger King in question was alerted to the rogue employee. At least, I hope he's rogue. How did it happen? Well, the BK employee hadn't removed the Exif data from the uploaded photo, which suggested the culprit was somewhere in Mayfleld Heights, Ohio. This was at 11:47. Three minutes later at 11:50, the Burger King branch address was posted with wishes of happy unemployment. 5 minutes later, the news station was contacted by another 4channer. And three minutes later, at 11:58, a link was posted: BK's "Tell us about us" online forum. The foot photo, otherwise known as exhibit A, was attached. Cleveland Scene Magazine contacted the BK in question the next day. When questioned, the breakfast shift manager said "Oh, I know who that is. He's getting fired." Mystery solved, by 4chan. Now we can all go back to eating our fast food in peace.

Police code for Black male.

all units be on the lookout (BOLO) for a Ford Bronco being driven by a number one male down the 405. number two male would be White. number three would be Hispanic. beyond that they would just use the name of the race on the airwaves.

Numberwang

The following numbers ARE Numberwang: 1, 22, 7, 9, 1002, 2.3, 15, 109876567, 31 etc.

And these numbers are NOT Numberwang: 1, 11, 7, 9, 5667, 0.0009, 69, 5 etc.

There, that should clear that up for you.

The gameshow Numberwang was won with the unlikely Numberwang combination of 1 and 2.
