and you made me think of this, so I had to add it in.

53310761 was Elvis Presley's army serial number.

punk era virtuosi. Tom Verlaine's solo career also yielded much treasure.

"Rikki don't lose that number
You don't want to call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home"

Showed Ricky Ricardo ("I Love Lucy" ) in a tux, standing in front of his orchestra, looking at a small piece of paper--"HEY! It's STEELY DAN's number! I thought I'd LOST it! I'd better put this in the mail to myself!" The comment said his tux was obviously a rental--the number was the only thing he owned.

25. 8675309 is a prime number

It's also the hypotenuse of a primitive pythagorean triad: 8675309^2 = 2460260^2 + 8319141^2.

It is also the junior of a twin prime pair, as 8675311 is also prime.
