6 5. That way when I introduce myself, I also tell them my height, 'cause they’ll probably ask anyway. I would adopt 197 as my international travel pseudonym for the same reason. ---

Hmm. If someone said **13** already, I missed it. It was the jersy number I had for a park basketball team that I remember fondly. ---

After all, in real life, I wasn’t the first person to be called “David”, I’m not the last, and I’m not the only one around with that name either. So why can’t more than one person be 18? Or 72/0?

My number would be the Boltzmann constant multiplied by the fine structure constant, multiplied by the universal gas constant, multiplied by Euler’s number, multiplied by Avogadro’s number. Yeah, I’m cool. ---
